Bb Learn Left Nav Panel -- Hide or Show Non-Content Area Left Navigation Panel Links
Introduction
A Content Area is where you add, well, content. Like Items or Content Folders (from under "Build Content") in order to add text, web links, images, files, and folders. Assignment and test submission links appear in Content Areas as well.
A content area in a Bb Learn course section is a webpage that has the "Build Content," "Assessments," "Tools," and "Partner Content" drop-down menus at the top.
The link in the left-hand navigation panel leading to a Content Area can also be called a Content Area.
