Deprecation of Course Builder, Module Builder, Asset Importer with the November '23 Release

Course Builder, Module Builder, and Asset Importer were designed as an authoring tool to build proprietary or customized courses. Despite low usage, there is a relatively high volume of defects reported. In addition, Cornerstone provides the Create Tool as its premium authoring tool offering.

With these points in mind, Cornerstone has decided to deprecate these products with the November ’23 Release. When this occurs, customers will no longer have access to Course Builder, Module Builder, or Asset Importer.
