How to create a backup by Exporting Components

Block Convenors and Block Instructors can export a copy of the delivery and/or master space to create a backup of VU Collaborate spaces. NOTE: This zip file can be imported into VU Collaborate, however, the H5P activities, Readings, and Panopto videos will need to be re-added; otherwise, an 'Unavailable QuickLink' message will be displayed.
