In ScreenSteps, articles and courses created using the legacy admin center or desktop application use an older format that is not compatible with the new admin center. To work with these materials in the new system, they must be upgraded to the latest format.

• Legacy articles and courses require upgrading to be compatible with the new admin center.
• Upgrading enables editing in the new article editor.

Key Terms

Legacy Format: The original format used by articles and courses created in the previous admin center or desktop application.
Upgrade: The process of converting legacy articles or courses to the new format so they can be edited and managed in the current system.
Revert: The option to undo an upgrade and return the article or course to its original legacy format.

• Understanding these terms helps clarify the upgrade process.
• Reverting allows flexibility if you need to return to the old format.

Why Upgrading Matters

Upgrading ensures that all articles and courses are compatible with the latest features and tools in the new admin center. This allows for easier editing, improved functionality, and a consistent experience across your documentation.

• Upgraded content can be edited with the latest tools.
• Compatibility with the new admin center is essential for ongoing maintenance.

Background

When you encounter a legacy article or course, you will not see the standard editing options. Instead, you are prompted to upgrade the content. After upgrading, you gain access to the new editing features. If needed, you can revert the upgrade and restore the original format.

• Legacy content prompts an upgrade instead of edit options.
• Reverting provides a safety net if you need to undo the upgrade.

Migration Process Overview

The migration process ensures that images are transferred to the new format, albeit without the capacity for further annotation edits within the new article editor. As for other content types, they are intended to be converted into the new format precisely as they existed, ensuring content fidelity throughout the transition.
