If it fails

If LAB01 is absent from the campaign menu, confirm it exists and ask the lab owner to check administrator visibility.

If 90001 already belongs to another campaign, do not reassign it. Agree on an unused lab ID and use it throughout the remaining lessons. Read any form error if the setting does not save.
