📒 Project Conversion Guide: Adapt Your Free Mode Content to the New Learner Interface

Follow our step-by-step video tutorials to convert your projects to the new learner experience.

Written by Océane

👉 For legacy modes:

  • Videos

  • Short stories

  • Image analysis

These contents are automatically converted - no action needed! 🎉

👉 For Free Mode:

Since the learner experience (LX) update, Free Mode no longer exists.
Previously created blocks are still visible and functional for learners but can no longer be edited in the editor.

✅ Case 1: I want to keep the content as it is

  • Good news: your content remains exactly as it is

  • It works for learners - no action required on your part

✅ Case 2: I want to modify the content

  • It is not possible to edit the content directly within converted blocks

  • These blocks are identified with an orange banner at the top, stating:

    “This block cannot be edited - ‘Free Mode’ content from the previous learner experience.”

  • You'll need to manually copy and paste the information into new, supported blocks.

ℹ️ Content types affected by Free Mode:

  • Rich text

  • Images

  • Embedded videos (YouTube, Vimeo, etc.)

  • PDFs

  • External content (e.g., Genially via iframe)

  • Hyperlinks (URLs)
