Please note: you will need to be an Editing teacher on the module where your H5P content sits and on the module you want to move it to.

1. On the module you want to move the content to, open the block drawer and click on the Import content link.
2. A number of modules you can import content from will be listed. You can either select from this list or search for a module in the search bar at the bottom of the page then select it.
3. Click Continue to move to the next page.

5. Click Next to continue.
6. At the top of the page, under Include, select None.
7. Find the content you want to copy over. You will first need to select the topic title then select the content. Do this for all content you want to import across.
