I love studying there but I would like to be able to explore past lessons (just the information, the theory). How can I do that?

View on HN

You can view lessons in "reference mode" -- to get there, just click on the old task and then on the name of the topic.

You can also get there from the Table of Contents -- to get there, go to your dashboard (where your learning tasks are), click on the name of your course in the top-left, and you'll be brought to a screen that says "Course Sequence" with a list of courses on the left and units on the right. If you expand the units, you'll see topics, and you can click on a topic to view its lesson in reference mode.

Note that XP & knowledge credit is only awarded for completing learning tasks on your dashboard, not for anything you do within a lesson in reference mode.

Thanks! Will the segments with formulas ever turn into Latex which one could copy and paste?

Not sure, but looking at the interface myself just now, it seems like it's always possible to see the latex of a math field by either 1) right-click > show math as > tex commands (which you can copy/paste), or 2) hover over the field and see the tex commands show up as hover text (but can't copy/paste)

Thanks! I might have never noticed this due to copying the text before it as well haha.

Thanks for the amazing support and the cool product!

Why do you want the latex available? Do you use the computer as a notebook?
