When I share a lesson with the public, and other people use that text, can I go back and edit the text at a later date if I find an error?
I have not shared lessons, but since paying members can edit any lesson they want, I would have to think you can also.
Yes, you can.
Moreover, you should do it.
I actually donāt have the option to edit lessons any more. It disappeared some time ago. Is that normal?
I was able to do it just nowā¦ Going into someone elseās lesson, Menu, Edit. Saved it also.

!! I didnāt know other peopleās lessons could be edited. Good to know.
I am not quite sure exactly how this has worked before and so on but I did remember that some time ago (might be already a year, time flights by so quickly), I noticed some glaring errors in some of the Swedish and a few in the Finnish ones. I reported these errors to lingq and Steve said, that he would give me a āeditors penā since I am fluent in Finnish and Swedish.
So in my experience you are able to edit lessons from the library, you just have to ask for permission. There is of course one problem with this āeditors penā thing and that to who should you give it to, how do you make sure that the person to whom this responsibility is actually qualified for the task.
Maybe they removed the functionality, the idea seemed to get mixed reviews. Have to dig up an old Mark thread to find the announcement.
@Estela - Yes, you can always edit any of your lessons.
Otherwise, Miznia is correct, all Premium members can edit any lessons they use. We are no longer giving out editors access. We opened this up to all Premium members assuming that the masses will do a better job of ensuring our lessons are as good as possible.

I definitely do not have that option any more. I used to have it, but then it disappeared again.
It should be there if you click the Menu icon in a lesson. You should see the Edit button in the menu that appears.
Except it isnāt. Iāve checked several times and Iāve had it in the past, so I know where it should be.
Looks like youāre right. You had purchased a group buy offer after previously being upgraded normally. Technically those offers are for new members only but it looks like you were able to take advantage. Anyway, those group buy tiers didnāt have editing access. We are fixing this so it should be there in our next update.

I figured it might have something to do with that. Well, there was no mention of those offers being for new members only and I had to contact you because I had activation problems, so I wouldnāt call that ātaking advantageā. I was just surprised to see the feature gone all of a sudden.

I have tried to make a few edits to lessons where the written text is clearly not what is spoken in the recording.
However, after I make the edits and hit save, I just get an error message āAn error has occurred while processing your request. Depending on the type of error, it may be automatically logged and reviewed by our team so please retry your request in a few minutes. If you are still getting this error message after a few minutes, please email us at support@lingq.com.ā and the changes do not go through.
Please advise. Thanks.
Sorry to hear that Darkslide820. Does this happen for your own imported lessons also? Or, just when editing lessons that have been shared by others? Which browser are you using? Does it make a difference if you try this in a different browser? We arenāt hearing this from others so there must some quirk related to your account that is causing this. Any more information you can provide will help us track down the issue. Thanks!
I was trying to fix a lesson awhile ago and still canāt fix it, receiving the same error message as Darkslide820:
(The issue needing to be fixed is from this thread:
Hi, Good Morning... In The Audio Of The Text I Hear Deal,... )
So possibly it is something about the lesson?
It happens in the lesson titled āHSKäøēŗ§å£čÆ ē¬¬äøéØå åēé®é¢ā in the course āMy Writings.ā It is not my content. The error comes up whether I hit āSaveā or āSave + Open.ā
Funny thing is I actually just today edited the French ministory #1 and it processed without a hitch.
I went back to the Chinese one above and still no luck. Didnāt matter if I typed in the correction with my Chinese (Traditional) keyboard or if I copy&pasted Chinese (Simplified) from Google Translate.
Iām using Google Chrome. I used to use LingQ in Internet Explorer but use it exclusively in Chrome since it works much better here.
I was able to fix that lesson. Must be some strange issue. Thanks, we will keep investigating.
