How do I move a file from one of my Course Collections to My Library?
I have a video file in a course collection (multiple actually) that I'm trying to move into a new course, but the "move" option is not offered. I'm realizing the "move" option is only listed for videos in My Library. So, how do I get the video file into My Library?
And how does a video end up in a course collection and not My Library to begin with? I want to make certain I don't do this any more, as I have 10-15 videos that aren't allowing me to move them.
Hi there, @WinnCollier ...
Well, that's pretty interesting. I tested this out in my own Canvas environment using Canvas Studio. I, too, cannot move videos that are in a Collection folder back to "My Library". I might suggest that you post your feedback over on this recent blog so that Akos might be able to respond:

Good luck!
@WinnCollier @Chris_Hofer Hey guys, I'd like to confirm that I too cannot seem to move my media from any course collections into my main library, and nor am I able to move media from My Library into other course collections if I would be needing to. I wonder if this will be something that gets updated in the future.
Best!
