Modules allow you to organize and group multiple course materials together. You can structure them flexibly, such as by class session or by material topic.

When you remove an added file from a module, the "Drop files here to add to module" prompt may disappear.

Items removed from a module are not deleted permanently. They remain in their respective sections such as "Assignments" or "Pages" in the Course Navigation.

If you want to add the item again, click the "+" icon to the right of the module title.

For example, select "File" from the dropdown list; the file previously removed from the module will be displayed below. Select it and click "Add Item".

The selected file will be added to the module again.

Files that have been dragged and dropped once remain stored in "Files" in the Course Navigation even if they are removed from the module.
