Copy Content Between Courses

Need to copy content between your own courses? You can easily do this using the "Copy To" functionality in Canvas. See the following guides and video for more information on how to do this.

Important: If you copy the same content (Module or individual content item) to the same course more than once, the content you previously copied will be overwritten with the newly copied content. Please copy carefully!

We also recommend that if you have a missing work policy in your course gradebook that you disable that policy before copying the course content into a new course shell. This prevents an issue that could occur with not-yet-due assignments being automatically graded with a 0 due to the policy recognizing the old due dates from the previous course.
