    You can also create a course link with this option.

    1. Click Select Content.

    2. Select activities to include in your class.
      A selected activity is labeled "This activity is imported in your LMS" and a warning message says "You are about to re-import already existing assignments."

      Graded activities that have already been added are marked This activity is imported in your LMS. To avoid duplicate activity links and gradebook columns, do not import the same activity twice.
