Menu Overhaul

After a few course migrations, your Course Menu might be in need of an overhaul. Don’t be afraid to Delete buttons you don’t use. You can always add a link or Tool (Messages, Journals, Discussions, etc.) back using the + Add Menu Item if you make a mistake. Any Tool content, such as postings and messages, will still be there when you create back to it - yes believe!)

Also, your course material, Learning Modules, .pdfs, videos, etc. reside in your Files area, so you won’t delete your content when you remove a button, just the links to them. Exceptions are folders with content created dynamically -
on the fly - such as a web links URL collection or an Assignments folder.  These items are not stored in a Tool or linked from the Files area.

To arrange your menu logically – add Subheader categories, for example, Course Material or Communications, and drag your buttons to their respective areas.
