Canvas: Adding and Importing Content From One Course to Another

Import Content From One Course to Another

Importing a course more than once may have unintended consequences. If you import content into a new course, edit the content in the new course, and later import the previous content again, the imported content will override the existing content.

To import content from one course to another:

1. On the All Courses page, select the name of the course into which you are importing the source course content.
2. Select Settings.
3. Select the Import Course Content link on the right.
4. On the Import Content page, from the drop-down menu, select Copy a Canvas Course.
5. From the Search for a Course drop-down menu, select the source course from which you would like to copy the content.
6. Select All Content to import the entire course, or Select Specified Content to import only parts of the master course into your course.
   
   NOTE: If the course has due dates associated with content and assessment items, these dates can be adjusted before content import. Select the Adjust Events and Due Dates check box to shift the due dates for all items associated with a due date.
   
   
7. Click the Import button.
