Answers	Add, remove, or update answers. Ensure only one correct.
Explanation	Update answer explanations.

Example Update:

json
Copy code
{
  "quizId": "quiz-123",
  "quizType": "multiple-choice",
  "content": "What is the output of print(3 * 2)?",
  "programmingLanguage": "Python",
  "codeContent": "print(3 * 2)",
  "answers": [
    {"text": "5", "isCorrect": false, "explanation": "3 * 2 is not 5."},
    {"text": "6", "isCorrect": true, "explanation": "Correct! 3 times 2 = 6."}
  ]
}
2. Code Blank Fill
Field	Notes
Content	Update instructions to learner.
Answer	Modify correct solutions (multiple blanks allowed).
Programming Language	Update language if needed.
Code Content	Update with {blank} placeholders.
Compile	Toggle compile testing on/off.
Compile Code	Update runnable code.
Output	Update expected program output.

Example Update:

json
Copy code
{
  "quizId": "quiz-456",
  "quizType": "code-blank-fill",
  "content": "Fill in the missing function keyword.",
  "programmingLanguage": "Python",
  "codeContent": "{blank} say_hi():\n    print('Hi')",
  "answers": [
    {"blank": "def"}
  ],
  "compile": true,
  "compileCode": "def say_hi():\n    print('Hi')",
  "output": "Hi"
}
Best Practices
Update lesson name/XP when scope changes.

Always refresh answer explanations for quizzes if content changes.

Keep XP rewards balanced after edits.

Use draft mode (inactive) if making major updates before republishing.

Example Workflow
Lesson originally:

Name: Variables in Python

XP: 20

Quiz: What is 2 + 3?

After update:

Name: Variables and Data Types

XP: 25

Quiz: What is 3 × 2?

✅ With Update Lesson, admins can refine and improve course content continuously without starting over.
