Description
Dependencies
Depends on #1710 and #1711. This story will require backend and frontend changes.
Spec
- Published unit changes cause units in course to receive the sync icon, just like components
In Scope
- Sync changes to unit in library that have been published to local instance in course
- Sync will "blow away all changes" to the course version of the unit, except for overrides (if any - the unit shouldn't have any changes because of #1712)
- Local text block overrides should be preserved. Local title overrides should be preserved. Local settings overrides should also be preserved. (#2182)
- Include test cases on the backend
Not in scope
- Bulk sync (should be integrated with that story)
