Fixing SCORM Package Export and Import Inconsistencies

Canvas

This behavior has been resolved and deployed to the production environment as of 9/18/24.

Description

We're encountering issues where Commons packets retain outdated references from the source course when they are created. This leads to mismatches and inaccuracies when the source content references are updated after the export.

When SCORM content is exported for use in Commons, it captures and locks the references from the source course in the state of reference. If these references in the source course are updated post-export, the changes are not reflected in the Commons content, causing 404 errors.

Expected Behavior

Allow for dynamic updating of references within SCONE to ensure that references are updated as soon as changes are detected in the source content.

Workaround

No workaround exists at this time.

Steps to Reproduce

No steps to reproduce exists at this time.
