Beware the Delete Button

Never delete anything that is connected to the Grade Book or has student submissions. It is always better to make things unavailable and hide from view than to delete something. Once you delete something in Blackboard it is gone, there is no recycle bin! To make an item unavailable, access the items contextual menu and change the setting for “permit users to view this content” to NO. Content areas located on the page menu are made unavailable in a different way. To make a content area unavailable select it’s contextual menu and select “hide link”.
