*************
edX Studio
*************
=============
New Features
=============
* **Improved import experience** (STUD-595)
When you import a course, the Import screen now provides real-time status updates. The Import screen tells you when the import is in the
following stages:
* Uploading
* Unpacking
* Verifying
* Updated Course
* Success (Complete)
* **Improved drag and drop experience in course outlines** (STUD-575)
The ability to drag and drop sections, subsections, and units in the course outline is enhanced in the following ways:
* The visual representation of where you are moving the course element to is improved, with a pointer and blue line indicating the
new position.
* You can more easily drag units from one subsection to another.
* When you cancel a drop, the course element returns to its original position.
* You can no longer drag a course element below the New Unit button, which was causing confusion.
* **Text customization capability**
You can now customize some of the UI text that your students see. You do this through the text_customization key in the Advanced
Settings for the course. (However, edX recommends that you contact your Program Manager before you modify the text_customization key.)
* **JavaScript loading performance**
JavaScript loading is changed in ways that should improve the performance on some pages.
Code contributors should note that JavaScript is now loaded through require.js.
==========================

* In a course outline, dragging a unit over the Units label no longer causes the unit to be removed. (STUD-755)

eight of Total Grade field. (STUD-771)
* Certain component errors no longer prevent the course from saving correctly. (STUD-786)
* When you delete a Discussion component, the discussion is completely removed from the course. (STUD-811, STUD-817)
* When you are editing a course update, the update no longer disappears if you click outside of the Edit window. (STUD-822)

the transcript is hidden.
