Fixed issues
In this release, we:

- Fixed an issue that caused students to receive an "Access denied" message when trying to access content from the Digital Library that had been copied and edited by a content author.
- Revised the way the Editor manages resources linked from other courses, so they can now be properly previewed.
- Fixed an issue in the rich text editor that sometimes caused an image, table, line of text, etc., to duplicate itself when the user hyperlinks it to a URL.
- Updated Passage questions to give passages their own ID.
- Fixed an issue that kept embedded code from being displayed in the rich text editor when the user switches to fullscreen view.
