Hello,

Do you know when the update is to be applied?  I assumed this morning, but I cannot drag and drop into the RCE yet. 

Cheers,
Ben

@BenJam1n, deploys happen over the course of most of a day. But they completed yesterday afternoon as expected so you should be able to drag and drop in production now!

Thanks!
It worked yesterday but isn't working today.

Hi @BenJam1n,

There was a bug when dropping/pasting from word on masOS machines (everything was just an image instead of being text), so I think this feature was again temporarily disabled while they correct the issue.

Thanks! That's too bad, For all it is worth, I was using my Mac successfully, and Windows OS without a problem. I hope the feature returns soon.
Cheers,
Ben

Hello! 

I have a question about the "Import Blueprint Course Settings" feature. Does it work when using the "Select specific content" option, and if so, are there specific criteria for when it will work? 

I was copying several blueprint templates today, and the "Import Blueprint Course Settings" option only worked for me when I imported "All content" from the original course.

Thank you,

Geneva
