Editor
Build your materials with modules, units, and rich content.
The Editor is where you build your material's content. It's organised into modules containing units—the individual content blocks and questions that make up your material.
Editor Layout
When editing a material, you'll see:
- Sidebar: Navigate between modules and units, access settings.
- Content area: Edit the selected unit's content.
- Header: Material title, publish button, and navigation.
Modules
Modules are sections that group related units. Think of them as chapters or topics.
Creating Modules
- In the sidebar, click Add module.
- Give your module a title (or leave blank for auto-numbering).
- Add units to the module.
Managing Modules
- Reorder: Drag modules in the sidebar to change their order.
- Rename: Click the module title to edit it.
- Delete: Click the module menu and select delete (removes all units inside).
Module Requirements
Materials need at least one module with at least one unit to publish.
Units
Units are the content blocks within modules. The available unit types depend on your material type (see Material Types).
Adding Units
- Select a module in the sidebar.
- Click Add a unit or use the unit picker at the bottom.
- Choose the unit type.
- Edit the unit's content.
