The process of copying course content in Ultra differs from the course copy function in Blackboard Original. Copying course content can be done whether the course is open or private.
1. Log into Blackboard and enter the Ultra course site that you wish to copy content into (this can be an empty site or one with previous content).
2. Click the course’s Content tab

3. Click the Add Content button or the circled plus (+) icon within the content area and then click Copy Content to choose the source of the content you wish to copy.


A panel will open listing the courses for that you currently have editing privileges.
4. Scroll to the desired course site. You can select the entire site or navigate to specific folders and items within. To copy an entire course site, check the box next to its name. For selective copying, click on the title or right-facing arrow and choose individual items or folders. Selecting a folder automatically includes all its contents.

5. Select the content that you wish to have copied to the new Ultra site.

TIP: you can navigate upward in the folder structure by using the ‘breadcrumb’ list that appears at the top of the folder/content listings.

6. Once you select the content to copy and click Start Copy. Blackboard will return you to the Ultra course site.

When the copy is complete, your copied content will be displayed in the Content section of the Ultra course site. By default, new content appears at the top of the listing. It can be rearranged at any time by clicking and dragging the items up and down in the course content window.

NOTE: Some content does not copy from Blackboard Original to Ultra in a consistent manner. To check for any possible conversion issues, select the Conversion Exceptions item from the left-side menu.

This will allow you to examine any possible formatting or elements.
