Now that courses are created for your Moodle site from the last article on “[How to create courses in Moodle](/support/edu/moodle/creating-courses-in-moodle/)“, the course settings may need to be updated due to restructuring the classes or when mistakes where made when setting up the course. This article will explain how to update the course settings in Moodle 2.3.2.

**Editing the Course Settings**
