Transfer Collaborative Bundle Ownership

If an owner of a Collaborative Replacement Bundle no longer wishes to see the bundle and no longer wants to be an owner, but still wants other users to be able to collaborate on the bundle, the user can:

  1. First, ensure that there are two additional users who are collaborators on the bundle, one of whom is an owner.
  2. Ask an owner to remove all of the individual's permissions.
    • The user will no longer have access to the Collaborative Replacement Bundle.

Remove/Delete Bundles

Users must have been granted the Delete permission to remove a Collaborative Transfer Bundle.

Before deleting a collaborative course bundle, it is important to note that doing so deletes the bundle for all collaborators. Collaborators will receive an email notification that the bundle is no longer accessible.

If a user no longer wishes to see a Collaborative Transfer Bundle but wants to ensure that others can still use the bundle, the individual can hide the bundle using the instructions above.

If a Collaborative Transfer Bundle owner no longer wishes to see a bundle and no longer wants to be an owner but wants others to still be able to collaborate on and use it, the individual can transfer ownership using the instructions above.

To delete a Collaborative Replacement Bundle:

  1. Select the trashcan icon to the far right of the bundle name.
  2. When asked to confirm the bundle and all courses inside should be deleted, select Yes.
