Step 5: On the right menu, select the blue Import/Download
Step 6: Your list of courses will be available in a pop-up window. Select the course you want to import.
Step 7: When a course is selected, the blue Import into Course can now be selected.

Once, the import is complete, you can import any additional content. Any content imported over existing content will appear at the bottom of the Modules page, below any template content (if applicable).
