Commons pages and relative links

We have a page which was created in a course and links to an item in the course navigation (specifically, the Syllabus). The link was added using the Content Selector on the right-hand side of the page. When copying that page to another course, that link would update to be relative to the course it was copied into.

However, when that page is put into Commons, that link is changing to a very long URL starting with: 

https ://common-cartridge-viewer.netlify.com/?compact&manifest=https://cartridge-manager-iad-prod.inscloudgate.net/entries-... [space added after https to stop the link being converted to text].

Are links on pages no longer relative when the page is put to Commons?

Hi David,

Course navigation cannot be previewed in Commons, it works only in Canvas. However, if you share such a resource to Commons and then import this resource to Canvas, the link will work in the Canvas course. 

Have a nice day,

Hi again Zsofi - scrap that last question. The import worked on second try which is a relief.

Thanks again for your reply.

Regards,

Dave
