If you lock the navigation (4), other administrators will not be able to edit this content.

Use (5) “Back” to return to the course overview page.

Use (6) “Preview” to get a comprehensive overview of the content created so far and view it from the learner’s perspective.

Use (7) “Add Text” to add a text element to this page.

Use (8) “Add Media” to add a media element to this page, where you can embed MP4 or MP3 files.

Use (9) “Add Quiz” to add a quiz element to this page, where you can create as many questions as you like.

Use the cross button (10) to move any element.

You can delete any item using the trash can icon (11).
