    The basic operations shown in 1. and 2. are used for all type of items, including files, assignments and quizzes.
  3. When deleting items, be careful not to leave items in each menu that are no longer needed.
    Items exist in each menu by type and are not deleted by removing them from the module.

Publish Courses

Items in the course can be individually controlled to be published/unpublished.
Items added to a module will only be accessible to students if both the module and the item are published.
