Launch the Inline Editor
Using Google Chrome, log in to your Blackboard Learn Ultra environment.

Connect to Impact Instance
Click the Impact instance which is connected to the Blackboard Learn Ultra environment.
This means with Ultra you no longer connect your expert user and forget about it. With every use of the inline editor in Ultra, you connect an LMS to an Impact system.
Note: Using the Chrome plugin you can create contexts on an Impact system different from the one connected to that LMS. You can connect the plugin to any instance you have access to, regardless of the LMS you are logged into. Be careful which instance you are logged into, especially when defining any context.
Open Inline Editor
After the page has reloaded, click the Impact icon [1] and then click the Add icon [2].
