I have tried to edit the content in my class that was uploaded as part of the course shell.
The issue is that I made a copy and edited it by chunking the material into small content. I imported another copy of the content and then edited it with different items from the content. The problem arises there. I went back to the first version I had made and the content now was the exact same as the most recent version I had made. HOW can I ensure this does not keep happening? IS this even POSSIBLE???

    @Katie.B.228 I think this has to do with how D2L copies HTML pages. It does not rename them in Manage Files if you copy them more than once and instead just overwrites the existing file with the same name (with no warning). The same file is being referenced in more than one location within your modules. If you edit in one place, it will update in the other places too. You would need to rename these HTML files in Manage Files after each copy to make sure that they are all separate files.
