Clicking the *Edit Activity* button opens a new screen identical to the _'Basic'_tab in the authoring environment. In the current version of LAMS (2.0.4), Editing can only be performed on activities that students +have not yet reached.+
Unlike *Live Edit*, this form of Editing can only modify the content of an activity, as opposed to the structure of a sequence.
h4. Statistics
