 Let's say you've completed a class in one semester and now need to set up your class for the next semester. Go to the shell for the new course and import existing content. Select Copy a Canvas Course and find the course you want to copy. While you could copy the entire course, it's often better to select specific content. It's also good to adjust the events and due dates. Canvas will then automatically shift the original course to the new dates that you specify. The course will begin on August 31st and it'll end on December 17th. Canvas doesn't know about things like spring break or holidays, so you'll have to check all the dates, but at least a lot of the heavy lifting has been done for you. Then click the Import button. Canvas is then waiting for you to select the content. In this case, I want the course settings, the syllabus body, but not all of the assignments. I don't want the discussions and within the assignments, there are some of them that I don't need anymore. Clicking the arrow again will fold up that subcategory. I want all the quizzes, question banks, I don't need any of the discussion topics. I want all my pages, none of the announcements, all the rubrics, and I'll take all the files that I had left over except for the example files from fall 2018 and the final exam lab from fall 2019. Once I've specified what I want, click Select Content and Canvas will start running the import for you. Depending on how much you're importing, this may take a little while. When it finishes, go back to the home page and the content has been copied for you. The new course now has a copy of the information from the old course.
