How do I move course outcomes and outcome groups in Improved Outcomes Management?

You can move outcomes and outcome groups from your course Outcomes page. When moving an outcome group, you move the group within another outcome group. When moving outcomes, you can move multiple outcomes at the same time.

This lesson displays how to move outcomes and outcome groups in a course within an account that has enabled the Improved Outcomes Management feature option. If the Outcomes page in your course displays differently than the images in this lesson, you can move outcomes and outcome groups in the classic Outcomes page view.

Note: If you are unable to move outcomes or outcome groups in your course, this feature has not been enabled by your institution.
