Overview

Visually configuring course blocks should dramatically increase the visibility of existing blocks already enabled, as well as options to configure course level blocks centrally. We hope this work helps encourage the usage of a wider range of existing Xblocks. Advanced settings page configuration for configuring xblocks would be deprecated (eventually) in favor of configuration tools in the Pages & Resources area of Studio.
