Where would a previous course not being offered be stored for the future?

I have other courses that i need to save for a later date. Do i have to store old course information locally or is there a place on Brightspace?

Hello Linda 

Thank you for reaching out to the Brightspace Community.

After building your course, you can set the accessibility to learners by controlling its availability and active status. This is particularly important if you only want to make your course available to learners during a specified time period or academic term.

You can refer to the folllowing document to help you set up the course availability dates and active status.

If you just want to store the old course data, you can set the couse to be Inactive and hidden from the users. The Course data will remain until it is purged. Another option is to export the course as Brightspace package and store it locally.

You can refer to the folllowing document to help you export as Brightspace package.
