-===== 10. Groupings =====
+===== 11. Groupings =====
 This area displays a list of groupings that can can be used for grouping xAPI statements which can be reported via xAPI to a Learning Record Store (LRS) dashboard.  Additional groupings can be added, and existing ones deleted. This can be useful to track a project used for different purposes, or for use with the Adaptive Content page. One example might be for projects that need to be mapped against a specific target, where each grouping can represent a separate target. This feature is only usable by Xerte installations that are connected to an LRS.
-===== 11. Courses =====
+===== 12. Courses =====
 In the learning object, the developer can choose which 'course' the learning object belongs to. To make a choice possible, you can fill in a list here in the admin page. You can also indicate whether the developer can create a 'course' himself (free text field). In that case, set 'true' in the box next to 'Enable free text input for courses'. If you do not want this and that people can only choose from the list completed by the organization, then set this option to 'false'.
-===== 12. Licences =====
+===== 13. Licences =====
 In this area, by default, XOT has created several licenses which can be linked to learning objects. Additional licences can be added, and existing ones deleted.
