Moodle 5.3 developer update

This page highlights the important changes that are coming in Moodle 5.3 for developers.

Linear navigation support

Since 5.3

Moodle 5.3 introduces support for sequential linear navigation controls within course views. By default, third-party course formats do not display linear navigation elements. To explicitly opt in and declare support for this feature, course formats must override the uses_linear_navigation() method.

For a comprehensive integration guide, structural configuration examples, and page-state API controls, see the Linear navigation support guide.
