Rename or Delete Content Items

You can rename or delete content items from your course at any time. When you rename a content item, the change is reflected anywhere in the course where the content item is used. For example, you might change content items called "Documents" to "Reading Assignments."

Warning: When you delete a content item, you are also removing the content within the content item as well. For example, if you delete a content item with a Dropbox basket, the basket and the information it contains is also deleted.

Once you create and name a content item, the system lists it in the list of existing content items so you have the option to reuse the content item name. When a content item is deleted, it is also deleted from this list.
