This is the only thing blocking the removal of legacy Courseware Sequence view. But to remove this, we would need to one of several things, none of which would be trivial:

  • Deprecate the Preview feature

    • (improve Studio enough so that it is a sufficient preview?)

    • what features would we lose here?

      • testing masquerading

      • testing nav as a student

  • Change the read-optimized LMS data (block structure, learning_sequences, edx-when, course overviews) so that they expose Draft data for the Learning MFE to consume.

  • Migrate courses over to Learning Core, which provides a better view of Draft content which the Learning MFE could consume.

This is low hanging fruit! We just need to make a course home tab view that iframes in the CustomTabBlock, which is just an HtmlBlock subclass!

This could be done at parity quickly. I don’t think it warrants a DEPR. We should ticket this up with the help wanted label.

This is the endpoint that renders a “chromeless” (nav-free) xblock.

This will never be removed entirely but, eventually, we can seriously simplify it to the point where it’s just a thin wrapper around the next item (built-in XBlock views).
