Considerations when moving content between courses associated with a “blueprint course” (template)
- If you are moving content from a course associated with a blueprint to a course associated with the same blueprint, you may end up with duplicate pages.
- For pages that are not editable (have lock icon in pages menu) we recommend not including them in the data you select to copy.
- For pages you have customized, copy them and remember to check any links to them in the new course.
