Edit, copy, or reuse a list

You can edit the title, description, and contents of a reading list; copy a reading list to edit for a similar class so you don't have to start over from zero; or attach a reading list to another class. 

Edit a list: 

Click the three dots on the right side of the top menu to edit a list. The options available are:

  • Edit list: Edit the title, description, dates visible to students, etc., of the list. You can also add collaborators, such as teaching assistants, here and allow them to edit the list.
  • Duplicate list: Make a copy of the list. This is useful if you want to make and edit a list for a similar class, or use the same list for a new semester, but keep your original list attached to the class it was designed for. 
  • Lock list: Collaborators cannot edit a list while you have locked it. 
  • Unpublish list: Hide the list from student view. If a list is unpublished, you can publish it here. 
  • Manage link to course: Unlink a list from one course, and link it to another course. 
  • View list as a student: See what it looks like from the student perspective, so you can edit it accordingly if appropriate. 
  • Sort items within all sections: You can sort items individually within sections, or you can quickly sort all sections alphabetically by author or title. 


Edit contents of a list: 

At the top of the list, you can toggle between managing sections of the list and managing items in the list: 


Managing sections: 

  • Click the left caret to open and close sections to edit items within a section
  • Click the dots on the left to drag sections and reorder them
  • Click the dots on the right to edit a section's title etc., lock the section so collaborators cannot edit it, or copy a section


Managing items: 

View the full reading list and select individual items to edit. Click the three dots on the right for your editing options.
