Import lesson content

Existing content can be imported from your Content Repository into a lesson using the Design tab of the Lesson Editor.

Any content that you've already authored can be imported from the All Content Types pane of your Content Repository. Example — Questions, Text, Interactive Narratives, and Math Apps.

TIP: If you're instructing a child class, you'll also be able to import content that has been inherited from the parent class into your lesson. Inherited content is indicated with the shared iconThe Shared Content iconin the Content Repository.

TIP: If content has been shared with your class using the Share function, you'll also be able to import this shared content into your lesson. Shared content is indicated with the shared iconThe Shared Content iconin the Content Repository. Check out Share content.

IMPORTANT: When importing content that has the shared iconThe Shared Content icon(Example — inherited or shared content), it's strongly recommended that you first clone this content into your class before importing it into an activity. Cloning prevents any changes made to the original content by the original author from automatically propagating into your activity without notification. Cloning creates a copy of the inherited or shared content that you can then import into your activity without having to worry about the content changing unexpectedly. Check out Clone content.
