Schoology Learning

Merge duplicate sections

Merge duplicate sections for instructors in your schools.

Duplicate sections can occur when Schoology syncs with your SIS and creates new sections that duplicate sections instructors previously created.

Before merging sections, ensure:

  • The source section cannot be synced with a SIS.

  • The destination section must not contain content.

  • The destination section must belong to your Enterprise account.
