## FAQ

### Is this a full enterprise LMS?

No. Raoa LMS 1.0 is a **basic LMS**: courses, lessons, quizzes, free enrollment,
progress, completion, and an account portal. Paid checkout, certificates, live classes,
assignments, drip content, and marketplace payouts are out of scope for this release.

### Do I need a store plugin?

No. This version does not sell courses.

### Can guests enroll?

No. Students must log in or register before enrolling. Preview lessons remain viewable
without enrollment when enabled on a lesson.

### What type of data does the plugin store?

 * **Enrollments** — user, course, source, dates
 * **Progress** — completed lessons and quizzes per course
 * **Quiz attempts** — scores and pass/fail (not answer keys)
 * **Profile** — biography, designation, expertise, social URLs, and instructor 
   application flags
 * **Uploads** — profile photo and cover image files owned by the user

Use WordPress **Tools  Export Personal Data** / **Erase Personal Data**. Raoa LMS
registers exporters and erasers for this data. Suggested privacy-policy wording 
is also added under **Settings  Privacy**.

### What happens if I uninstall?

By default, student and course data are **kept**. Enable **Remove data on uninstall**
in Raoa LMS Settings before deleting the plugin if you want options, custom tables,
LMS content, plugin roles, and pages this plugin created removed. Existing site 
pages that were only reused (including the WordPress Privacy Policy page) are not
deleted.
