I agree. If you rely solely on Lingq to transcribe, that’s great – although as you mentioned adding a graphic for your lesson requires an edit to the new lesson. Also, if you’re adding a new lesson to an existing course it does not automatically choose that course during input. So watch out for that.
If, however, you don’t rely on Lingq to transcribe the new lesson, it is quite the downgrade from the long proven and quite optimal previous method.
