How to open content for editing

You can edit all the resources found in My content by clicking on the resource you want to edit and clicking Edit resource. In order to edit shared content within the Explore tab you'll need to copy it first in order to have permissions to edit it.

H5P view

The H5P view lets you edit the resource itself. This view is identical to the standard H5P view. For more on editing an H5P, see H5P.org - The Basics.

Script view

The script view lists all the text added to the H5P. This lets you easily edit all the text added to the H5P in one view, making for an effective way to edit the text. Fields using rich text will also have a simple editor bar.
