Add new content to an existing learning path
You can add web pages to an existing learning path in addition to the content you have added from a course or various content repositories.

- Clear the Allow learners to contribute content from external web pages link.
- Click Submit.
Copy learning paths to other courses
When you copy a learning path, you also need to copy course content to the target course so that the new Brightspace LeaP instance has access to the same content the originating Brightspace LeaP had. You should also make sure that your new course has access to each Learning Objects Repository that was included in your original course.
To copy a learning path, use the backup and restore, import and export, or course copy functionality in Brightspace.
Remove learning paths
Before you begin: You must have External Learning Tools permissions to complete this task.
- From the context menu of the learning path you want to remove, click Delete.
- Select the Remove the topic from Content but keep the associated file or activity in the course option.

Note: Choosing the Permanently delete both the topic from Content and the associated file or activity from the course option removes the tool, as well as all links to that tool, and is not recommended.
