EV3 SOFTWARE
The Content Editor offers a convenient way for users to document
the purpose, process, and analysis of their projects. You can include
text, images, videos, sound effects, and even building instructions.
It is also a convenient, paperless way for educators to monitor and
evaluate student projects. Content Editor is also the place where
already-made content—for example, Robot Educator tutorials and
purchased LEGO
®
Education activity packs—is displayed and used.
Each page can be customized with different layouts and can
automatically perform a range of actions, such as opening specific
programs or highlighting a particular programming block.
The Content Editor is located in the top right corner of the EV3
Software and is available whether you are working with a Program
or an Experiment. You open the Content Editor using the large button
with the book icon. Once open, you will be able to see whatever
content has been made for the project: for example, a Robot
Educator tutorial.

and features:
 Open/Close Content Editor—Here you open and close
theContent Editor.
