Mergomg existing separate sections into one of the existing sections creates a parent/children relationship between the Blackboard courses. When this happens, the child courses are no longer available to the instructor and students.
In this example, the request is to merge sample_course_sections 1 & 2 into sample_course_ section 3.
Special Notes:
Section 3 will be referred to as the Parent course and sections 1 & 2 will be referred to as the Child courses.
After sections 1 & 2 (Child courses) have merged into section 3, they will no longer be available to the instructor or students.
They will only have access to the (Parent course) section 3.
