Topics created for other lessons may be used to create a new lesson. Revisions to linked topics can only be made in the activity in which they were created. Therefore, any revisions made in the originating topic are reflected in your linked topic. To link to an existing topic:

1. Click the Link to Topic icon beside the topic you want to link. The link icon changes to a clipboard.
