# Editing Learning Objectives
This page explains how to edit learning objectives in EdEHR. It covers changing details, updating the linked case study, and saving your changes.
What You’ll Learn
* How to edit an existing learning objective
* How to update the name, instructions, and notes
* How to change the case study attached to a learning objective
* When to save changes and when to consider cloning instead
***
## Editing Learning Objects
To modify an existing Learning Object follow these steps:
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
#### From the learning Objective Page select the gear icons in the top right to edit the learning objective.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
#### Editing learning objectives details
From here you can edit;
* **Name and Title:** Give this learning object a name, for the student to recognize. Often this is the simulated patient name, perhaps with its MRN.
* **Instructions for student:** Describe what the student needs to do with the content and what learning objectives they ought to accomplish.
* **Faculty Notes:** Provide notes for faculty
* **Content Creator Notes:** These notes are for the people who maintain this learning object
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
#### When you have completed your edits hit the Save button.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### If you want to update the case study tied to the learning objective click this icon 
to edit the properties of the Learning Object and attach a new case study.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Select New Case Study from the list or search
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Click 'Save'
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
If you want to make changes for a new term or course, consider cloning an existing learning object or case study rather than editing the original. This keeps your historical content intact and avoids accidental changes in live courses.
{% hint style="warning" %}
**Warning**: Changing the Case Study after students have begun using the Activity will cause students to suddenly see different patient data. This should generally be avoided once an activity is in use.
{% endhint %}
