We added a search function to the insert object workflow for the Learning Object Repository. 

  • Search by Name: Users can now search for objects by name, making it easier to find specific items.
  • Pagination: The list of items supports retrieving more than 1,000 objects at once, giving users a wide variety of options.
  • Automatic Sorting: The list is automatically sorted in alphabetical order for a more organized view. 

This update enhances the workflow to make inserting objects easier and more efficient. 

Users must have permission to insert objects into courses. This permission is turned on by default for instructors and course builders.
