Can someone say abit more about this https://github.com/adapt-security/adapt-authoring-ui ? Is this a front end editor for the Adapt Authoring Tool? Frontend user interface of the Adapt authoring tool?
Adapt Front-End Editor
Re: Adapt Front-End Editor
Hi Winston.
It is the piece of software that is loaded into the browser for the authoring tool. Everything you see in the browser is contained in this repo. The rest of the application is the web server which provides the APIs for this software to talk to. The web-server does all of the hard work in that it reads and writes files to and from the database and disk, but alone it has no easy way for a human to interface with. This software is that user interface.
If the web server is server-side, this is the client-side part. The user interface.
I hope that helps? Perhaps clarify what you mean by:
> Is this a front end editor for the Adapt Authoring Tool? Frontend user interface of the Adapt authoring tool?
A front-end is often a user interface or client-side application. The browser is the client to the web server.

Re: Adapt Front-End Editor
Hi Ollie, That was a very good detailed explanation. You say "It is the piece of software that is loaded into the browser for the authoring tool". So I am able to add blocks, delete blocks through the browser using this piece of software? Have you used this?
Re: Adapt Front-End Editor
It is automatically downloaded, installed, compiled and served in the new authoring tool as the tool's only user interface. It is not part of the legacy tool and cannot be used independently of the authoring tool contained in https://github.com/adapt-security/adapt-authoring
