Can a learner edit referred evidence?

Learners can edit some details of referred evidence and resubmit it: Criteria, Completion Date, off-the-job hours, off-the-job hours type and Evidence Type. They can't change the evidence file itself. Once the edited submission is accepted, the referred version only shows in Assessment Reports and Feedback History, not in the component.

To change a file, the learner must make a new submission rather than edit the referred one. That way both the referred evidence and the accepted evidence stay visible in the component.

Only the learner who uploaded the evidence can edit it. Their name shows in the Owner column.

What happens when a learner edits referred evidence

A learner should not be able to edit the content of any file upload evidence that has been referred, only submit a new piece of evidence to it, aside from the details as previously mentioned.

A learner can edit a referred note and resubmit the same note instead of adding new evidence. Mark it again, and ask the learner to add a new note next time, so the referred and new evidence are both kept.

To check what's changed, view the evidence history.
