Depending on the included learning content, a dialogue opens in which you can decide on how to handle existing references:

  • Import: You can also import the referenced learning content. This creates a new learning content resource, which will be linked to the new course.
  • Relink: You can link existing learning content to the course element of the new course.
  • Remove: If you remove the reference, the course element will be created without any stored learning content. After the import, you should then link new learning content to this course element in the course editor.

You can take a different decision for each referenced learning content used.
