Why can't I add a sub-folder to my Course Content?
Why can't I move one Content Folder/Module into another Content Folder/Module?
Organize with folders. You can create two levels of folders to organize your content. Students can navigate easier when they don't have to search for materials. Optionally, add folder descriptions to help students understand what content you've included in them. After you already have two levels of folders, you can't create a third level or upload a folder into the second-level folder.

Saving new content
Why won't Blackboard save my answers?

This could mean several different things:

  1. Is the Save/Submit button greyed out?
    • If you've just typed something in, You may need to click on some other part of the form in order for the browser to realize that you are done typing.
    • There may be a required field (denoted in red) which has not yet been filled in.
  2. If you could press the Save button, but your changes aren't showing up:
    • Refresh the page to see if the change just needed to be cached
    • If they still aren't there, then there may be a permissions or connection issue, in that case, you may need to gather a .har file for your System Adminsitrator or Local Support team.
