Note
The Environment Administrator determines which H5P content types are available in the environment.
By default, available content types are installed automatically when they are used for the first time.
The H5P block allows you to create new H5P content or import H5P content files created elsewhere into a course.
The All tab contains more than 50 different content types.
Disabling a content type does not affect activities that have already been created.
A disabled content type is no longer available when creating new H5P content.
Tip: If importing an H5P content package fails, first check whether a newer version of the content type is available and update it if necessary.
