Failing step: Use a Section from a Course independently of the Course Outline > Step 1
Failure: 1) The sample image shown in the section does not reflect what I see in the Studio. 2) Some texts need to be Bold to highlight the steps, like in the other sections.

Hmm, this begs the question, can you even Use a Section from a Course independently of the Course Outline if the "Hide in Course Outline, accessible via Link" visibility option doesn't exist?

@jswope00 do you know anything about this feature? Or @ormsbee ?

I commented on this back when it was a product proposal, but I didn't realize it had even been implemented yet.

I think this will work even without the UX if you set hide_from_toc attribute to true in the OLX. (The proposal was to put an actual UX on top of existing backend functionality, though I don't know how much this had been tested with the MFEs.)

@ormsbee I don't think that product proposal has been implemented. I think https://docs.openedx.org/en/latest/educators/how-tos/use_section_independently_of_course_outline.html was written prior to the MFE, and the screenshot attached in this ticket is the current MFE view.

So my understanding I guess is the (current) only way to Use a Section from a Course independently of the Course Outline is to edit raw OLX?
