Browse through the list and select the content or assessment items to copy.
If you are copying content, make sure you select the "**External Learning Tool Links**" option so that all embedded activities, such as H5P, reading lists, Feedback Fruits, or Panopto video, will carry across. Failure to follow these steps will result in broken links and activities throughout your unit.
