Ulmo adds authoring support for Sections and Subsections (also known as "structural blocks") in :ref:`Libraries <Content Libraries Overview>`. You can now author all levels of content for reuse in courses. Included are improvements to syncing changes made in a Content Library to content that has been reused in courses.
Also new is a method of :ref:`migrating Legacy Library content <Migrating Legacy Libraries>` to the new Content Libraries experience. Migrated content can be edited, and changes can be published to courses that used the Legacy Library content.
Migrate Legacy Libraries
In Verawood, :ref:`Legacy Libraries <Legacy Content Libraries Overview>` will no longer be supported. Migrate legacy libraries to maintain functionality. To learn more view the :ref:`Migration documentation <Migrating Legacy Libraries>`.
Content Libraries now support Sections and Subsections authoring. With these improvements, all levels of content can now be authored in Content Libraries and reused in courses.
Author Sections, Subsections, Units, and content blocks within Libraries.
Homepage View of Libraries
Full page view of a Section in a Content Library
Newly created content or edits can be published via the new publish flow. Publishes to structural blocks will publish all contained content. For example, this means publishing a subsection will also publish all the units and content blocks contained within that subsection.
View how publishing affects content in the new Publish confirmation
Course authors can quickly and easily see changes made to Library Section and Subsection content from within the course authoring interface. When changes to library content are published to courses, course authors can choose to accept or ignore these changes. In Ulmo, educators can compare the current course content with the published changes side-by-side in a new pop-up. View changes by clicking on the sync icon from the Course Outline or Unit pages, or from the Library Updates page (accessible via the Content drop down menu).
The "Preview changes" pop-up now shows more detail on what happens to content when changes are available
See :ref:`Sync subsections or sections` for more detail.
With the new :ref:`migration <Migrating Legacy Libraries>` feature, Legacy Library content can now be moved into a Content Library. This enables editing, remixing, and reusing content without breaking courses that used the Legacy Library. Courses that use Legacy Library content can receive updates made to the migrated content.
Note
To receive updates in courses that previously used Legacy Library content prior to migration, educators must update the references in the courses. To learn more, see the :ref:`Legacy Library Migration documentation <Migrating Legacy Libraries>`.
The new Migrate Legacy Libraries tool
All content management functionality extends to subsections and sections, including:
- Subsections and sections can be :ref:`searched, sorted and filtered <Search for content in a Library>`, enabling easy discovery and management
- Subsections and sections can be added to :ref:`collections <Build a Collection in a Library>`
- Subsections and sections can be :ref:`tagged <Add and Delete tags in Library content>`
- Subsections and sections can be :ref:`published <Publish Library content>`
- Subsections and sections can be :ref:`reused in courses <Add Library content to a course>`
