How do I update DesignPLUS Policy Blocks in Canvas Blueprint courses?

The DesignPLUS Policy Blocks tool makes it easy to update Policies automatically from the [Policies] page in the Primary Customizations course. Canvas Blue Prints add a layer of complexity that this Knowledge Base Article will cover.

Policies are a dynamic element of DesignPLUS that help you keep institutional verbiage consistent across all courses. Policies, once created and added to content in Canvas, will be automatically updated every time that piece of content is edited and re-saved in Canvas. These Policies are created and maintained from the DesignPLUS Primary Customizations course. For more information on how to create Policies, please see our DesignPLUS Admin Guide: Instructions for Customizing Policies.

Canvas Blueprints can also utilize these policies, but they must first be created within the DesignPLUS Primary Customizations course, and then added to the Master (parent) Blueprint. Every time the policies are updated within the Primary Customizations course, the page containing the policies in the Master Blueprint will need to be edited and saved.

The child courses will now have up-to-date policies.

Note: Don't push the changes in the Master Blueprint from the course Syllabus. We recommend pushing those changes from another page, like the Homepage.
