Add Unsupported Problem Types and Exercises

Add Unsupported Problem Types and Exercises#

In general, you should use only problem types and exercises that are either fully or provisionally supported. By default, only supported problem types and exercises are available in Studio for adding to courses.

However, in some situations, you might choose to use exercises and problem types that the Open edX Platform does not support.

To add unsupported problem types, exercises, and tools to your course, follow these steps.

In Studio, select Settings, then Advanced Settings.
Locate the Add Unsupported Problems and Tools field, and enter a value of true.
Select Save Changes.

After you enable this setting, unsupported problem types, exercises, and tools are available in the lists of new components that you can add to your course in Studio.
