[ARCHIVED] When importing from a shell how can I have links automatically adjust to the new class shell?

[cnunes]

Our campus gives us development shells.  I use course links to navigation tools, pages and modules.  How can I get these to automatically convert to the new shell?  I really don't want to go in and re link all those pages and assignments where I have course links.

 @cnunes , greetings! Any course links you create to other course content within the course will remain intact and working as long as you import the entire development course over into your live/real course. I also work at a school that does something similar and never had any problems with my links not working as long as the entire course was copied together.

Hope this helps, Kona

Kona,

Thank you for your response.  Do I need to export the 'dev' class and then import it to my live shell?  I have been going into the 'live' shell and copy course from my 'dev'.  I am assuming I am doing that incorrectly and should export and import?

Thank you for your assistance!

What you would do is go into your live shell and then import in your dev class shell. The best way to do this is by using the following directions - https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-12935-415257077

This is what I did and I lost my course navigation links that were embedded in pages/assignments...I will chalk it up to having done something else incorrect  and try it again.

Thank you for your time!!
