Blackboard 6.3 Help: CMS & Bb Course (Faculty Only)
Link Content System Files to a Bb Course
A file stored on the Content System (CMS) may be linked to one or more Blackboard courses. Using CMS as
your primary repository for course files will allow you to link a single file to many courses. When the
file is updated in CMS, all the courses will recieve the updated file. Linking a file stored in CMS to a Blackboard course will automatically give read permission to everyone listed in the course
roster.
