Re-Import a Content Package

The Import Console supports the re-importing of previously uploaded content packages (WebCT, Blackboard, IMS, or standard Zip format) without requiring the content package file to be re-uploaded into the course. This can be useful to continue an incomplete import process, or as a means to reset the imported content in the case that the previously imported content has been altered or deleted.

To re-import a previously uploaded content package:

1. Within the course, select the Manage tab.
2. Select the Import Console link beneath the PSU Data Management subheading. The Import New Course Content menu appears
3. Select the Re-Import link located beneath the Import History section of the screen.

   
   Select the Re-Import link.

   Note: The Re-Import option only displays if a content package has been previously uploaded to the course. Previously uploaded content packages are not listed in the Re-Import option if you remove the Content Package after the initial import process.

4. The message on the screen will show that the re-import has been queued for processing.

   Note: The re-import process may take a few seconds to several minutes, depending on the number of entries in the source data file.

5. When the re-import is complete, you will be sent an e-mail.
6. Click the Refresh link to view the re-imported content status.

Note: Depending on the structure of the source course export file, you may need to rearrange some of the imported content. For more information about rearranging course content, refer to the Move a File or Folder in Course Files help topic.
