To access Commons, click the Commons link in the Global Navigation menu on the left side of the Canvas Dashboard.

A resource in Commons can be a course, module, quiz, assignment, discussion, page, document, video, image, or audio file.

To find resources in Commons, use the search field and search filters. You can search for keywords such as author (reacher) or title, and search filters can help narrow your search by resource type (e.g., Courses, Modules, Assignments, Quizzes, Discussions, Pages, etc.)

Click on the resource title to view the resources details and select import into the Canvas course(s) of your choosing.

An import status notification will be visible at the top of your screen. Please note that it may take a while to see changes in your course.  Imported Commons resources retain their options/settings in the new course except for their due dates.
