Deprecated Items Types |
This release begins the deprecation of several item types: Image Highlight, Formula, and Formula Essay item types. Each of these has a corresponding item type that generally matches or expands on the item type.
Item Authors cannot create items with these types, and are recommended to use the corresponding item type that replaced it.
Existing items can continue to be used on existing and new assessments, but these items can no longer be cloned or modified. If such a modification is needed, it is recommended to create a new item from one of the corresponding item types.
