Learn how to use Blackboard Ultra’s Copy Only role to share content from a protected master course or Organization. Course owners can add faculty as Copy Only users, mark the source Complete to prevent changes, and allow faculty to copy approved content into their own course shells or sandboxes without editing the master template.

VoiceThread's LTI 1.3 integration only performs a course copy once, when a VT link is first clicked in a new Blackboard shell. Any VoiceThread links added after that point — even if copied from another course — won’t carry over or function correctly. This affects all VT links created using Build Content → VoiceThread, including assignments and non-graded links. To prevent issues, rebuild VT links in each new course shell after copying.

Courses follow a three-step process during the Blackboard Ultra transition. Faculty first copy their content into the Blackboard Original course shell by the deadline. After that, Blackboard converts the course to Ultra, and no action is needed during this step. Once conversion is complete, faculty receive their Ultra course to review, edit, and finalize before the semester begins. It is expected that courses will appear in Original during the copy phase.
