Overview
The project contains all activities and assessments, whether or not they are used in a specific blueprint. In this way, the project works like a content management system. The Assessments tab in the Smart Author menu sends you to various directories that list all available activities or assessments in the project.
Even when you remove units, modules, or pages from a blueprint, the activities and assessments are not deleted. You can find them in Smart Author under Assessments.
