A new Blackboard Building Block called Document Unpackager is now available to Blackboard Instructors.  Instructors can easily upload a .zip file containing multiple folders and files to a course content area all at once instead of one file at a time.  The Document Package tool will automatically recreate the original folder structure in the course content area.

To upload the zip file, choose Document Package from the Select drop down menu in a course content area.  It will appear at the bottom of the Select list.  Click the GO button. 

On the Document Unpackage screen, click the Browse button, locate the .zip file, and click Submit.  The folders and files can be reordered or copied to another content area once they appear.  Click here for a short instructional video on Document Unpackager.
