Enjoying the new Evolve so far!

Things that are great:

  • Ability to add Pages easily! This makes for more modular content
  • Easy WYSIWYG design
  • All settings on right hand side are easy to navigate
  • Clearer Theming setup.

Some things I’d love to see added:

  • Dashboard:
    • Course organization into folders with related Permissions
    • Feed of latest edits, recent courses, and updates so admins can see what’s happening.
    • Notifications section with recent comments (currently, you can’t see a comment unless you go into the course)
  • Design Canvas / Editing:
    • Embeddable iFrame and Code components.
    • Reusable Sections, Columns, etc. If we spend time creating a section that has a unique image, background color, setup, etc. it would be great to make these a reusable component that is saved to the Add Element (or similar).
    • Ability to @mention someone in a comment
  • Images:
    • Basic cropping and positioning feature would be nice.
  • Theming:
    • I do miss Article Styles. Would be nice to be able to build some Theming “Variants” under themes that can be quickly enabled for a section.
    • Would be nice to have Theming live outside of courses in the left-hand toolbar so we can quickly access without going into a course.
  • Assets:
    • Bulk adding media assets (currently you can only add one item at a time – time consuming)
    • Tagging and organization for media assets (folders please)
  • Publishing:
    • More fine-tuned control over course completion requirements
    • Publish button could also be available in top-right corner near Preview

Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback @JHops , great to hear you are enjoying the tool so far. Colleagues of mine might have more info on some of your requests above, but I can tell you that that these two are in development right now:

  • Embeddable iFrame and Code components.

  • Would be nice to have Theming live outside of courses in the left-hand toolbar so we can quickly access without going into a course.

Code component should already be available, but it doesn’t have syntax highlighting yet

Correct, there’s a code snippet component, but not one at allows to embed code, like an iFrame, to display external content.

Ah OK, sorry about that!
