What happens to my content if I stop using DesignPLUS?

While the content is yours to keep, some features and tools will become unavailable.

Preserving your content

The content you develop with DesignPLUS is yours. Everything created with the tools is stored as HTML in Canvas, so DesignPLUS doesn't actually impact where the content resides and who owns it. 

That being said, if you were to stop using the DesignPLUS SaaS service, the content you created with the tools would no longer benefit from the maintained CSS and JavaScript that is served up from Cidi Labs' servers that enables much of the styling and interactivity of the content.

If a customer discontinues the DesignPLUS service, our procedure is to provide a snapshot of the CSS from the Cidi Labs servers that you can host on your own to preserve the CSS styling of any content developed with the tools.

Please note that this is an unsupported or maintained snapshot that you will have to maintain on your own.

Unavailable tools & deprecated elements

You will lose access to some features and tools upon discontinuing your DesignPLUS subscription:

  • You lose the ability to build and edit with the tools and will also lose the ability to see the styles in the rich content editor.

  • Any JavaScript-enabled elements (tabs, accordions, etc.) used on pages will cease to transform (see full list of JavaScript-enabled elements). However, these elements consist of well-structured HTML that was designed to deprecate in a semantically meaningful way. So you'll still see the content in a structured and plain way, without transformation or interactivity.

  • You will also lose access to course sidebar tools such as Course Search or Interactive Data.
