# Changing the Instructor Mid-Course

If the instructor of a course changes mid-way through, you can update this in ActiveNow easily:

* Go to the Calendar and click a lesson in the course you want to update.
* Select *Course details*.
* Click the pencil icon next to *Instructor*.
* In the dialog you can:
  * change the instructor for all lessons in the course
  * change the instructor from a specific date onward

{% hint style="info" %}
In both cases you can choose to replace the current instructor with a different person or add an additional instructor to the course.
{% endhint %}

## Changing the instructor for all lessons

Select *For all lessons in the course*, then click *Confirm*. The instructor will be updated across all lessons in the course.

## Changing the instructor from a specific date

Select *For all lessons from the selected date*, choose the date from which the change should apply, then click *Confirm*.

* Replace the current instructor with a different person
* Add an additional instructor

Changes take effect immediately after confirming.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.activenow.io/en/instructor-management/changing-instructor-during-a-course.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
