Migrating existing H5P content when upgrading to Moodle 3.8

Migrating existing H5P content when upgrading to Moodle 3.8

Will be upgrading to Moodle 3.8 this summer and as Moodle 3.8 has H5P integrated into the system I was wondering if the existing H5P Moodle plugin was removed would our existing H5P content be able to be migrated and be used after the upgrade?

As far as I know - and that's dangerous - your content will continue to work fine. Effectively, the plugin is now core. It's not a completely different thing.

Just to confirm if we were to remove our current H5P plugin with the upgrade it wouldn't affect any of the content in the Moodle libraries that the current mod_hvp plugin points to and therefore all current H5P content could be migrated and used within the new upgrade?

As long as you don't delete the plugin through the Moodle interface (which deletes all the tables) then you'll be fine. Just don't try to overwrite the core H5P activity with the outdated plugin code - that's the most likely mistake.
