Differences between clone a course and create a call.
Hello. I've created a plan and when insert an existing course asks me if I want to clone it or create a edition. I see no clear difference (I need to know what is better in this scenario).
Doing this, I've set up a course as it supports editions and now I would like to remove this option. How can I do it?

Hola María,
Si clonas un curso se va a duplicar, de forma que tendrías dos cursos por separado exactamente iguales, pero podrías modificar cada uno de ellos como quisieras para adaptarlos a lo que necesites (como por ejemplo, añadiendo actividades, cambiando los prerrequisitos entre las actividades).
Si lo añades como una convocatoria no se va a duplicar sino que se habilitarán las convocatorias del curso que estás añadiendo y se incluirá en el plan como una convocatoria del curso original. Esto te permite que un mismo curso tenga muchas convocatorias, y, si quisieras, podrías tener cada convocatoria en un plan diferente. Es importante tener en cuenta que la estructura del curso (actividades, prerrequisitos entre actividades) será igual para todas las convocatorias, lo que cambia es el estado de cada una de ellas (si está en borrador, abierta, cerrada), los alumnos que tenga, tutores, si está en un plan o no.
Una vez configurada la opción de las convocatorias, no se podrá cambiar en el curso "origen".
Muchas gracias por tu pregunta, espero haber podido ayudarte.
Un saludo.

Hello Maria,
If you clone a course you are going to duplicate, so you would have two separate courses that are exactly the same, but you could modify each one as you want to adapt them to what you need (for example, adding activities, changing the prerequisites between activities).
If you add it as a edition it will not duplicate but will enable the editions of the course you are adding and will be included in the plan as a edition of the original course. This allows a course to have many editions, and, if you wanted to, you could have each edition in a different plan. It is important to bear in mind that the structure of the course (activities, prerequisites between activities) will be the same for all the editions, what changes is the state of each one of them (if it is in draft, open, closed), the students that you have, tutors, if it is in a plan or not.
Once configured the option of the editions you cannot deactivate it in the course "origin".
Thank you very much for your question, I hope I was able to help you.
Greetings.
