A course copy operation can't be completed if you don't select at least one of these areas: Content, Contacts, or Settings. If you don't select one, a warning appears and Blackboard Learn can't create a new course. Copy Links to Course Files: No copies of linked files are included in the copy. The copied course will have the same set of links.
Copy links and copies of the content (include entire course home folder): Make copies of all files in the course's home folder regardless of whether those files are linked to course content. You need manage permission on an item to include copies of those files.

The system asks if you want to include student activity data in your export, which is an archive. Student activity data includes assignment submissions, grades, attendance data, and discussion posts.

In the Content Collection, go to the location where you want to upload files. Point to Upload and select Upload Zip Package. Browse for the file and choose the encoding type, if applicable. Select Submit to start the upload.
Exporting a course creates a ZIP file of the course content called a course package. You can import course packages back into Blackboard Learn to create a new course with the same content. Exporting a course includes only the course content.
Content from content areas appearing on the course menu that have the same name in the package as in the existing course will be added in the same content area. Nothing is removed from the course and replaced with content from the package. Imported content is appended to existing content in the same content area.
Include starter posts for each thread in each forum (anonymously) or include only forums with no started posts in the course copy.
Links to parts of a course that aren't imported will break when the links appear in the destination course. For example, if a link to a test appears in a content area and you choose not to copy tests, the link to the test will break.
When you import a course without enrollments into an existing course, the delegated setting is brought over as enabled for all existing delegated grading assignments. All current users who can reconcile are also set to grade all submissions.
Export/import creates an attendance column that you can't delete, but no attendance data is added.
The archive course feature creates a permanent record of a course including all the content and user interactions. Archived courses are saved as ZIP files. When you archive a course, it isn't deleted from the system. All files within the course are included in the archive, even if a file wasn't linked in the course.
You can download the package to your computer, and then use it in the future for import or restore operations. When you export or archive a package, it doesn't appear on this page immediately. An email is sent to you as soon as the system has created the package.
In the Content Collection, go to the folder that contains the files or folders you want to download.
After you download the item, you can edit the accompanying metadata.xml file outside of Blackboard. Keep in mind the following when editing the files:
You can upload files to any content area where you have permission to do so. The Upload button appears along with the options to Upload Files or Upload Package. Packages are .ZIP files that will be unpackaged into the folder you selected.
Share course material. If you want to share your course content with other instructors, you can send them the ZIP file. Instructors can import the ZIP file into one of their courses or an administrator can restore an archive package. All content is hidden from students so that you or another instructor can set visibility.
Administrators can restore an archive package and all student enrollment and data will be intact. When the export or archive package is ready, the ZIP file appears. Select the file name to download the package to your computer.
On the Course Content page, open the menu on the right side above the content list. Select Import Content > Import Course Content and choose the course package to upload from your computer. All of the content from the package imports to your course. The new content appears at the end of the content list.
When the workflow is complete, if some items from the Original Course View weren't imported into the Ultra Course View, a number is listed.
In the Content Collection, go to the folder that contains the files or folders you want to download.
