Three ways to use eXeLearning - Team Edition: server installation, full online editor with real-time collaboration, user management, persistent project storage and database-backed persistence - Personal Edition: online, fully functional static Progressive Web App (PWA) that runs entirely in the browser - Desktop: local installation on device, native applications for Linux, Windows and macOS, built with Electron New admin panel A new admin panel provides real-time visibility into the application, including activity metrics, active users, maintenance mode control and customisation options (application title, favicon, custom head HTML, and assets). This functionality was not available in version 3. Collaborative editing The Yjs-based collaborative engine has been substantially improved.
