Review the Content Collection Area

Task: Review content collection area for duplicate files

Having multiples of file makes extra work for you when making content accessible.

Instead:

  1. Make note of where you have the same file posted in multiple places
  2. Review your content collection area for the duplicate files
  3. Delete the duplicate files in the content collection area, leaving only 1 of the file
  4. Relink the same file in multiple places as needed
