The Content Editor offers a convenient way for users to document 
the purpose, process, and analysis of their projects. You can include 
text, images, videos, sound effects, and even building instructions. 
It is also a convenient, paperless way for educators to monitor and 
evaluate student projects. Content Editor is also the place where 
already-made content – for example, Robot Educator tutorials and 
purchased LEGO

®

 Education activity packs – is displayed and used.

Each page can be customized with different layouts and can 
automatically perform a range of actions, such as opening specific 
programs or highlighting a particular programming block.

The Content Editor is located in the top right corner of the EV3 
Software and is available whether you are working with a Program 
or an Experiment. You open the Content Editor using the large 
button with the book icon. Once open, you will be able to see 
whatever content has been made for the project: for example, a 
Robot Educator tutorial.

The Content Editor consists of the following main areas and 
features:
 1.
  Open/Close Content Editor – Here you open and close the 

Content Editor.

 2.  Edit/View Mode – Allows you to view or edit your pages.
 3.  Page Navigation – Go to the next or previous page.
 4.  Teacher/Student Toggle – Switch between the Student Page 

and Teacher Notes while viewing the content. This functionality 
is only available in the Teacher version of the EV3 Software.

 5.  Page Title – Add a title to your page.
 6.  Page Area – This is where the main content is shown and edited.
 7.  Media Icons – Select what content type you wish to add to 

the page area.

 8.  Page Thumbnails – Go to a specific page using the thumbnail 

images. In the Teacher version of the EV3 Software, Teacher 
Notes will also be available.

 9.  Add/Delete Page – When adding a page, you get to choose 

from fourteen different templates.

 10.  Page Setup – Make special settings for each page, such as 

format, page action, and navigation to the next page.

You can find more information about how to use the Content Editor 
in the EV3 Software Help.
