How to edit or delete a leftover "Overview" field from the old Content experience in D2L

"Overview" field from Contents (prior to May 2026)

Prior to D2L's "New Content Experience," D2L no longer has an "Overview" field.

  • Note that if an "Overview" was copied or imported from another course, it will be moved to the first Unit in Content.
  • You won't be able to change the name of the Overview Unit.

However, There are 3 things you can do with a copied-over Overview Unit:

  1. Leave it as is
  2. Edit the content inside the Unit
  3. Delete it by removing the content. For instructions on deleting, watch this 30-second video.
