Notes:
If there is a rubric attached to a resource, it will be shared to Commons as part of the resource. The attached rubric will also be imported as part of the resource.
Content shared through Commons retains the published/unpublished status of the item when it was originally shared. If you share a published resource, when others import that resource, it will be published in their course.
