Text tools of the Content Editor
In the content editor, teachers have many different forms of text tools to choose from when creating content for a class. The text tools are divided into seven different categories, some having more impact on the content than others, but all useful in their own ways.
- The first section is just the simple buttons of undo and redo. Use these to undo a mistake that you may have made or redo an edit that you may have created already.
The second section is for font, font size, formatting, and quotations.- Teachers get 8 different fonts, 16 different text sizes, and 6 different paragraph formats.

- The final row contains all of the features that allow teachers to upload outside content with the exception of the special characters button. The special characters button just allows for any characters that aren't displayed on a keyboard and also gives characters with accents. World language teachers may find this feature to be useful.
