Why did the descriptions of my Blackboard web links disappear during export/import to Brightspace?

In my Blackboard course, I have a number of "Web Link" content items, like this one, which contain an underlined link to a website, and a description/instructions about what to do with the link typed underneath:

But after import into Brightspace, the description/instructions are missing, as seen here:

Why did that happen, and what can I do to get the instructions back?

    Hi @Peggy.R.1517 .

    There is no option to add a description/instructions when creating  "Web Link" content items.

    Please check the link below for more options regarding creating content items:

    Thank you for the link. Good thing I still have my Blackboard course to go back to so I can copy and save all of the descriptions/instructions and recreate them in Brightspace.
