Paths for Importing and Restoring Courses

The following table identifies the supported paths for importing or restoring a Course that was

exported or archived from Blackboard Academic Suite. Certified paths are fully tested and

supported by Blackboard. Compatible paths are not fully tested but should function correctly

based on past performance.

Note Paths for importing and restoring Courses are not backward compatible. Courses may be

imported or restored to a newer version, but Courses from a newer version may not be

imported or restored to an earlier version.
