Linking Course sections is a great way to manage all sections of a course more efficiently.

When sections are linked, they all share the same set of materials and grade setup. This means you only need to create materials once, even when you teach multiple sections of the same course. Linked sections also have toggles you can use to switch between each section instantly, so you can keep the sections separate while enjoying a more streamlined workflow.

Here are the steps necessary to link sections of your courses: 

    * Navigate to "Courses", and select "My Courses"

    * Click the Gear drop-down next to the section you'd like to be the Master/Parent Course, and select "Link Existing Section".

    * If the requirements for linked sections are not met, the other section(s) will be grayed out. If you hover your mouse over the grayed-out section, you will see a tooltip explaining the cause of the issue.
