How to Fix Multiple Copies of Widgets

 

If you see multiple copies of the same widget and do not know which one to edit, it is easiest to delete the multiple copies of the widget and copy only that one widget from the Course Commons.

 

Do not re-copy your entire course, only the Homepage widget.

 

To copy the widget, follow these steps:

  • Click Edit Course. Click Import/Export/Copy Components.
  • Click the Search for offering button and select the Course Commons.
  • When selected, click the Select Components button (do not click Copy All Components).
  • Scroll down to Widgets and select the checkbox next to Widgets.
  • Select the radio button next to Select individual items to copy.
  • Click Continue.
  • You will presented with a  choice of widgets to copy. Select the checkbox next to Homepage and click Continue.
  • Click Finish to confirm the copy of the widget.
  • Click Done when the widget completes copying.
