When the course completion time is limited, the preview page will display information about the amount of time allocated to complete the assignment.
Additionally, a timer will be displayed to the user during the course completion.
The timer starts immediately after the resource is first opened and continues in real time, even if the resource is closed and reopened later.

If the course structure has been changed and a user decides to retake it, the system will notify them that upon re-entering the assignment, the completion status will change, and the new materials must be completed in order to receive the "Completed" status.
If the option is disabled, after changes to the course structure, the assignment status will automatically change from "Completed" to "In Progress" and users will need to complete the new elements for the status to return to "Completed".
