Adding content to and removing content from Blackboard

There is a Library Student Employees group in Blackboard, containing information for all LSE (payroll and other procedures), as well as a directory specific to Digital Commons student employees. Right now I am using that to add theses for KDW to work with. I started adding thesis content one by one, but discovered I could zip multiple files to add at once. Unfortunately, it didn't allow me to extract the files the way I thought it would. Talking to Reddy, I found out that if I am going to upload zipped content, I need to do it through the Content Collection sidebar group - the GROUP-BRO-LITS-DMLSTUEMP. From there, you go to Upload (Zip package). Uploading it here allows the files to be unpacked, as well. From there you go to where you want your content to live, create the folder and within the folder choose Build Content - item. Pick a name and from there navigate to Browser, Organizational Content. You can choose multiple files to move to your new folder.

Also, when you want to delete content from Blackboard, you have to delete it using the Content Collection area. If you just delete it in the specific Content area, it remains in the Collection. Deleting it using the Collection is a 2 step process, though. Your maker in the Content area will show Invalid File, and you'll have to delete that, as well.
