DELETE versus PUT for Concluding Courses

[saustin]

Good afternoon, are there any significant differences in the impact to concluding a course using:

PUT course[event] conclude

versus

DELETE { "conclude": "true" }

Thank. you so much in advance for your insights!

Hi @saustin,

I believe those two different API calls are functionally the same.  I generally prefer the put call for concluding so that using a delete call really means delete without any confusion.  That just helps me recognize things better though.

I appreciate that @chriscas thank you so much.  DELETE seems so..... scary.....
