Limitations on all course transfers:

Assignment attachments: When an assignment with an attachment is brought over from Bridges to Brightspace, the attachment does not come with it. The attachment has to be downloaded separately and then uploaded into the assignment.
Rubrics: As rubrics are not included in the course backup, those will have to be moved over separately.
