There are two generations of Content Libraries in the platform. The Open edX user interface has referred to them by different names across releases, so to disambiguate, we use the code-names “V1” and “V2”.
...
V1 Libraries and V1 Library Content Components are still available to be used, although there may be warning encouraging authors to use V2 Libraries for all new content.Provisional
Sumac->Teak Migration Path
...
From Django Admin, site-global staff will have the option to select one or more V1 Libraries and perform the Migrate Legacy Library to new Library Collection admin action. The staff member will be able to specify any existing V2 Library or V2 Library Collection as the target of the conversion.
...
The V1 Libraries authoring environment will no longer be available. In courses, existing V1 Library Content Components will continue working, but they will be unable to receive updates from V1 Libraries.Migration Plan:
Teak->Ulmo Migration Path
...
New in Teak (preliminary UI / exact interface TBD): A system with two legacy libraries, one which has been converted to MyCollection within MyV2Library.
The Legacy Libraries tab will show a list of V1 Libraries that are in the system. Libraries that were already migrated to the V2 environment will continue to be indicated as they were in Teak. Libraries that are not yet migrated will feature a prominent “Migrate Now” call-to-action, allowing library authors to select a destination V2 Library or V2 Library Collection.
...
In order to eventually remove MongoDB as a dependency of Open edX, there will be a future release where the Legacy Libraries (or Legacy Collections)tab is removed and V1 Libraries Content becomes completely unavailable. Operators who wish to preserve their V1 Library contents will need to perform the migration described above before upgrading to such a future release.
