- Open the Control Panel for a Course.
- Open a Course area meant to hold content where the Text Box Editor is available, such as an Announcement or a Discussion Board.
- Select an option in the third row of the Text Box Editor.
- The Content Collection item to link to is selected on the page that appears. Select Browse next to the Link from Content Collection field. The Content Collection will open in a new window. Locate the Content.

It is very important that the Browse field and the Specify URL field are left blank. These fields are not used for adding items from the Blackboard Content Collection.
Depending on the type of item being added, additional options may also be available on this page. For more information, see the Text Box Editor topic in this manual.
