How do I copy content from one Canvas course site to another Canvas course site?
Instructors, TA or Course Designers can copy content and activities from one Canvas course site to another Canvas course site if they have an account on both sites.
Go to the new Canvas site and click “Settings”
On the right side of the display, click “Import Course Content”
Use the Content Type Dropdown box and select "Copy a Canvas Course"
Select the course you want to copy
As you start typing a course name, the list will filter.
Under Content, select either "All Content" or "Select Specific Content"
To import all content from the course, select the All Content radio button.
If you select the "Select specific content" option, you will be able to select which content to copy after the copy function has been processed.
Optional - Adjust Events and Due Dates
As part of a course import, you can adjust the due dates associated with course events and assignments. You can also shift due dates to a different day, or remove all associated due dates.
We recommend that you do not use this option. Instead, adjust the dates of assignments and events individually after they are imported.
Click “Import”
This will initiate the import process and list the process in a “Current Jobs” panel.
Once the job is complete the content is copied from the old course site to the new course site.
If you selected the "Select specific content" option, click on the “Select Content” button and select the content you want copied.
