Easier section editing

Change section titles without leaving the page.

Delete course sections

A new option in each course section allows you to completely remove the section, including any activities and resources it may contain. Activities and resources from a deleted section can be restored from the new recycle bin for up to one week after they were originally deleted.

The recycle bin allows you to retrieve course elements that have been mistakenly deleted. If items within the recycle bin are not restored within 7 days, they will be removed and no longer available.

You can find the recycle bin at the bottom of the Course Administration block.
