Blackboard: Course Navigation Pane
Introduction
The Course Navigation Pane can be customized to your needs and liking. There is a Standard Pane that is provided with all courses, however you do have the option of adding items to the navigation pane or making adjustments. In particular, if you copy from a previous course to a new course, the navigation pane will add new entries to the bottom of the list of links. This page helps you fix these navigation pane challenges.
