Type of Request
Fast Track Change (small, low-risk improvements)
Feature Description
Summary
Certain course app and plugin-related settings are currently exposed in both the Advanced Settings page and the Pages & Resources page. This duplication results in inconsistent behavior, where updating settings from Advanced Settings does not update the underlying course app/plugin state. This issue proposes removing the duplicated settings from Advanced Settings and treating Pages & Resources as the single source of truth.
Proposed Change
Benefits
-

-
Reduces author confusion
-
Lowers maintenance and testing overhead
-
Enforces a single source of truth
Scope
-
UI-only change; no change to plugin logic
-
No expected backward compatibility issues
-
Existing courses remain unaffected
