16 == What do I need to consider when working with the new user interface? ==
17
18 {{section}}
19 {{column width="50%"}}
20 Below, we have summarised some important tips for you:
21
22 1. First, please make sure that //your teaching contents //(courses, groups, tests, etc.) are still fully available. Should there be any discrepancies, please contact your support immediately.
23 1. In the new OPAL, internal tests will be no longer supported. If an older internal test is integrated into one of your courses, you will receive a corresponding note in the new user interface. If such a resource was used in a course element, you can also turn to the additional information in the detailed view of the resource or in the course editor. They contain a guide on how to easily convert tests to the new test format (ONYX). Further information on the conversion can be found in a separate section on the page of the course element

357 == Why do the main navigation and the header change in some views? ==
358
359 You will **switch from the new interface to the previous, old user interface** when opening, among other pages, the course editor, the assessment tool, or the detailed view. This switch is necessary because not all functions are yet available in the new user interface. So far, this applies to a large part of the functions for authors.
360
361 Since both user interfaces differ in appearance and their range of functions, you will inevitably encounter differences when switching between the two views. This concerns especially the area of the main navigation and the functions in the header.
362
363 {{info}}
364 For further information, please refer to the section [[Level of development of the new interface>>doc:LMS.Benutzerhandbuch OPAL.Erste Schritte.Details zur Lernplattform.Entwicklungsstand im Ueberblick.Umschaltfunktion.WebHome]] as well as to the section Toggle function which enables switching between the new and the old user interface.
365 {{/info}}
366
367 == Why is there the button "Go to my entries" ==
368
369 Authors also have the possibility to switch to the old user interface manually via the button **//Go to my entries//**, which can be found in the sections **//My courses//** or **//My learning contents//** under the tab **//Teach & Learn//**. There are various functions available which are currently not yet implemented in the new user interface. Among others, this concerns the bulk actions to delete resources, close the semester, manage owners, and to delete own entries.
