Brightspace doesn't differentiate between courses and communities/orgs/non-courses, so you will be able to use Brightspace for communities, organizations, and non-courses. Blackboard communities/organizations will not be moved automatically.
If you need a community, organization, or non-course, you can request a non-credit course/org from Blackboard be moved to Brightspace or a new non-credit course/org be created in Brightspace.
