Brightspace: How To Update the Course Tools Menu

If an option is not listed on the "Course Tools" menu that should be listed there then that course's "Course Tools" menu may be outdated. For example, "Library Subject Guides" is new. If that is not listed in your course's "Course Tools" menu then this article is for you.

This happens when copying a course and using the "Copy All Components" option. When copying all components from an old course into a new course the old navbars are copied in. The choice to "Copy All Components" rather than "Select Components" replaces the new updated "Course Tools" menu with the "Course Tools" menu from the past course. "Copy All Components" can be used again after updating the "Course Tools" menu. Future announcements will be made, with a link to this document, when the "Course Tools" menu needs to be updated.
