Sync Blueprint courses multiple times

[bturner5]

Allow multiple syncs for Blueprint courses that would sync additional assignments, quizzes, etc and put them in the correct order in associated courses.  At the present time, activities created go to the bottom of modules and not in the correct location.

Yes please! I do not understand why this is not a current function of blueprint syncs. Right now when I add a new document to a course blueprint, I have to then go into every associated course and reposition the document. Some of our blueprints have up to 20 associated courses, so this is very time consuming for something that should be happening automatically.

When synching via Blueprint, I don't understand why newly added items go to the bottom of the module instead of in the place I specified when I added the item to the module.  There is a thread that discusses the problem: 

https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Question-Forum/Blueprint-synching-canvas-items-out-of-orde...

In response to my question about this issue, I received the following statement from Instructure tech support:

In the guide here, https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-sync-course-content-in-a-blueprint-cour... it has a note that states "Associated courses match the modules structure initially created in the blueprint course. Any additional modules and their content added to the blueprint course and synced to associated courses will always be added to the bottom of the Modules page in the associated courses." This is a limitation with the Blueprint syncing process. (I bolded the sentence)

As I am not a software programmer, I don't know what is involved in resolving this limitation. However, it would be really  nice to not have to resynch a couple of times so all the linked blueprint sections have the correct item order.  Nothing like telling students "I see the document in this position in the module (i.e. the master shell) and students telling you "It isn't there!" because it is at the bottom of the module in their shell. 🙂

Thanks very much!
