Blueprints not syncing correctly and duplicating assignments

[saltman]

Thanks to James for helping me figure out how to ask a question again!

We are trying blueprints.  I have a master shell that has the sync button in it.  But the class we purchased did not have numbers on the assignments and many assignments had the same names.  So I renamed the assignments in the master.  When I go to sync the numbered assignments show up in the fall term class.  The modules are duplicated, and we have duplicated assignments. Do you know why the assignments won't sync?  Is it because I changed the names?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Shauna,

I just came across this unanswered question while doing a cleanup of the community.  This one is a bit hard to decipher, but I do think you''ll end up with duplicate info if you make a lot of adjustments to the blueprint, especially depending how the content got into the target course.  Syncing the blueprint, to my knowledge, is not a "replace everything in the course with only this stuff" but more like a "if this stuff doesn't exist or exists with outdated content, put the new stuff in".  If this occurs again, I'd honestly recommend resetting the target course then resyncing it to the blueprint (assuming no student work had been done yet).

I hope this helps a bit, even though it's a very delayed response.
