This change will ensure consistency in the text editing experience and enhance content creation for course creators and instructors.

Context & Background

In Redwood we are debuting the Studio MFE, and new features should be developed on master. Have you checked out the Redwood test instance, because I thought the Studio MFE used the TinyMCE editor in those places

@jmakowski1123 @sarina Thank you for your comments. Indeed in the reedwood version the text editor in the Course Updates section still needs to be updated. I have updated the proposal.

Thanks for the update @santiagosuarezedunext - overall the proposal seems like a win to me. To understand more, I'd love to hear from the Studio MFE team some information about why the editor was not updated on this page - was there a technical complication, or just ran out of time? @jmakowski1123 do you have any insight or know who to ask?

Relatedly - Once this page is migrated to the MFE I assume some updates to the page styling / etc would be warranted since it has to be converted anyways. Updating to the latest TinyMCE makes sense but other (likely minor) updates to the underlying page would be helpful as well

@marcotuts You're right. Is there any plan or person responsible for updating that page to MFEs?

I think the implementation of this proposal would be to convert this page to the MFE.
