Quick Reference Guide (QRG) Mode in Lesson Builder
QRG mode in the Lesson Builder lets Content Developers turn a Lesson into a printable Quick Reference Guide, editing the guide's text separately from the Lesson and exporting it to Word.
What is QRG mode?
- QRG mode is a mode in the Lesson Builder that creates a Quick Reference Guide (QRG) from a Lesson's steps.
