Content Overriding Issue: As mentioned in the Slack channel, original content was overridden by a translated version. Thank you to everyone who communicated and resolved the issue.

Important Reminder: Please DO NOT assign translated lessons to a course. Publish them as standalone lessons.

Updates: @piyopiyofox has updated the handbook page. See the Slack post “Translating and Publishing a Lesson”

Tutorial Deprecation: To reduce content types on the Learn WP site, Tutorials are being deprecated and will be converted into Lessons (Tutorial data migrationMigration Moving the code, database and media files for a website site from one server to another. Most typically done when changing hosting companies. #2393). A note has been added to all Tutorial-related handbook pages. Once the conversion is complete, these pages will be fully retired.
