In case of an update only of answer sections to given exercises, you should prepare a file including definitions for the exercises that should have updated answer sections.

The file does not have to (though it can, still it is not recommended) include definitions of the already existing exercises that do not have to be changed. While importing (in the browser window) you should choose this file and name the course with the name of the course that has to be updated. However, in this case it is very important not to change the question sections for the exercises that will have the answer section updated. This is because while importing the application downloads all exercises from a given course that have existed in the database.

Each time the application processes an exercise it checks if the already downloaded and existing exercises do not include an exercise of the SAME QUESTION SECTION. If they do, this exercise’s answer section is updated; learning process data for this exercise is not changed. If they don’t, it is simply added to the database as a new one.

Therefore, you should remember that any change in the question will result in recognising this exercise as NEW. Therefore, if you want to change the question section contents, without losing the learning process data and adding the exercise as new, you should use the exercise editor in the SuperMemo for iPhone application.
