Work with additional tasks for subjects

Subjects are used to categorize your content within your Content Repository into groupings based on their educational discipline.

In addition to the main tasks related to subjects, you can perform additional tasks to make the most of subjects within your Content Repository.

Edit a subject name

To edit the name of an existing subject:

Navigate to the pane of the subject that you want to edit and click Edit.
Edit the name of the subject as needed.
Click Save.

Remove content from a subject

You can remove—or unassociate—content from a subject:

In bulk

Remove an individual piece of content from a subject

To remove an individual piece of content from a subject:

Navigate to the Content Summary pane of the piece of content that you no longer want to be associated with a subject and click Edit Details.
Deselect the check box(es) of the subject(s) that you no longer want associated with the content.
Click Save.
The piece of content is no longer associated with the subject(s).

Remove content from a subject in bulk

To remove content from a subject in bulk:

Navigate to the subject that contains the content that you want to remove from the subject.
Within the subject, navigate to the type of content that you want to remove.
Select the check box(es) of the content that you want to remove from the subject.
Click Remove and Confirm from the bulk functions bar to remove—or unassociate—the content from the subject.
TIP: Alternatively, instead of removing content, you can relocate content to a different subject by moving it to a different subject at this step (check out Relocate content for more information on the Add to and Move to functions): (1) Click Add to from the bulk functions bar (instead of Remove) for the content that you selected at step 3 of Remove content from a subject in bulk. (2) Select the subject(s) that you want to relocate the content to. (3) Click Move to. (4) The content is then removed from the original subject that you selected it from and is associated with its new subject(s).
The content is removed from the subject's pane and is no longer associated with that subject.
