Hello,

I’ve been uploading content to my courses and have multiple times inadvertently deleted the thumbnail from the library when trying to assign it to the material. Is there a way I can turn that off? It’s really annoying to have to find and upload it again and reassign it to the courses.

@EmilyW_Tacoma  I had the same issue and I have hidden the delete icon using CSS. I can look for the specific rule tomorrow.

If you reuse thumbnails, you can always find the exact file name/image from another course.

  1. Hover over the image and you will see the three dots.
  2. Click “edit Details” and you will see the file name
  3. Then use the file name to search for the image.

You can also download the image with the tools in the menu.

@EmilyW_Tacoma you can try adding this to your CSS to hide those icons:

/* Removes the "delete thumbnail" icon on Course - Training Content edit page */
.carousel.slide.thumbnails-carousel.custom-thumbnails-carousel .carousel-inner .item.active .sub-item .deleteicon {
    display: none;
}


/* Removes the "delete thumbnail" icon on Learning Plan edit page */
.carousel.slide.thumbnails-carousel .carousel-inner .item .sub-item .deleteicon {
    display: none;
}

@EmilyW_Tacoma I know the feeling and it is super frustrating. Please feel free to vote for the following idea to improve the interface and prevent accidental deletions.
