Adding Content Type Options to H5P
When H5P is first activated, it appears as an empty shell without any of the H5P Content Types installed. Click on the Add New button to get started.
You will be presented with a screen of all the Content Types available. For each Content type you want to use, you will need to get the Content Type, then install it before you can start creating or importing content.
Once you have installed the Content Type, you can start using it to create content within Pressbooks.
