Instructors may import a pool from either their local computer or from the Blackboard Content System, if it is available. Instructors may manually enter a path in either the Attach local file field or in the Copy file from Content System field. Alternatively, Instructors may select the Browse button next to a field to select the appropriate location of the package file. If the Instructor enters both a local path and a Blackboard Content System path, an error message appears.

If the Instructor selects Browse next to Copy file from Content System, the Blackboard Content System opens in a new window. Select the appropriate package file, and click Submit. Folders cannot be selected, and only files on which the Instructor has Read permission will be appear.
