Features

Course authoring features for the shape and the substance.

Contentum is built around the part most authoring tools hide: how every piece of a curriculum belongs to the next.

01 / Structure

Build a hierarchy that bends without breaking.

Programme, course, module and lesson form a clear direction. Skip downward where it helps, while Contentum prevents a higher level from being nested inside a lower one.

  • Drag-and-drop reordering
  • Collapsible tree table
  • Valid nesting enforced while you drag

02 / Views

Inspect the same curriculum from three useful angles.

Table view is made for work. Network and flow views make relationships easier to scan. Switching view never duplicates or transforms the source content.

03–06 / The working details

The small assurances that keep a large programme manageable.

01

Markdown everywhere

Write a brief for the whole programme, context for a course, guidance for a module or the complete lesson itself.

02

Autosave as you work

Structure saves when it changes; prose saves shortly after you stop typing. There is no separate publish step to remember.

03

Server-backed undo

Undo and redo reach beyond the current text field to cover renames, moves and deleted subtrees.

04

30-day soft delete

A deleted programme or item remains recoverable for thirty days before permanent removal.

05

JSON import and export

Take the full hierarchy and its Markdown with you, or import a versioned file as a fresh programme.

06

MCP connection

Let supported AI clients read and build within Contentum through OAuth or an API key you can revoke.

A deliberate boundary

Contentum authors the curriculum. It does not deliver it.
