Understand the Content Repository
The Content Repository is the home of all of your class content.
Your lessons and assignments are designed using the tools, content, and related components that are maintained in your Content Repository.
Content Repository — Centralized location in Möbius for the management of all available content and supplementary content.
Content — Any component relating to the subject matter of a class (Example — Questions, Text, Lessons, Assignments, Interactive Narratives, Units, etc.).
Supplementary content — Components that support the creation, structure, and implementation of content. Example — Themes, Policy Sets, Slide Templates, Course Modules.
The following tasks can be done in the Content Repository to manage your content and related components:
Create

Access the Content Repository
The Content Repository is accessed from your Class Homepage.
Navigate the Content Repository panes
The Content Repository is divided into several panes to help organize your available content.
You can view the Content Repository as generally as just the Sources pane to as specific as an individual question in a question group.
Expanded panes can be collapsed to give you more screen space in the Content Repository by clicking on the pane heading name.
Sources pane
The Sources pane is used to control which content source you are viewing.
Your available content sources in the Sources pane are:
Current Class — Holds all content that is specific to your class.
All of my classes — Holds all content that belongs to any of the classes that you are enrolled in as an instructor.
Your organization — Holds all content from other users within your organization that is sharable.
Möbius Cloud — Holds all content from other users within other Möbius instances outside of your organization that is sharable.
Möbius Foundations — Holds introductory material for students and authors, as well as Content Banks for a variety of subjects (check out Explore Möbius Foundations).
Selected source pane
After clicking on a content source, the selected source pane expands to reveal a general grouping of the components specific to that source:
Source — The name of the source you selected from the Sources pane is displayed.
Lessons & Assignments — Click the Lessons & Assignments heading to reveal units containing both activity types, or click either Lessons or Assignments to reveal only that activity type in a unit.
All Content Types — Click the All Content Types heading to display all available content in the selected source or click on a specific content type heading to view all content of that type (Example — Questions, Interactive Narratives, Math Apps, Text).
Supplementary Content — Click on a specific heading to view all supporting content of that type (Example — Themes, Policy Sets, Slide Templates, Course Modules).
Subjects — Tagged content groupings that categorize content into specific areas of study.
Schools — Shows all organizations that the content within your Content Repository has been sourced from.
Deleted Content — Folder that holds deleted content.
Units pane
Clicking the Lessons & Assignments, Lessons, or Assignments headings, the Units pane expands to display all the units within your selected source.
Clicking on a unit heading expands that specific unit's pane to show all of the activities that it contains.
You can then continue to click on the content headings to navigate to a specific piece of content.
Each pane that you expand has its own set of functions applicable to the content it contains.
Other panes
By clicking any content or supplementary content heading, new panes expand with functions applicable to the items contained within them.
You can navigate as far into a content source as needed by clicking on headings (Example — you can navigate so that you are viewing an individual question of a question group that is contained within an imported Course Module's assignment).
