Copy just one thing from one Canvas course to the other. (#lscanvas)

Right now we have tons of teachers creating all types of courses for next year. Sometimes you will want to copy just one page or resource from one course to another. It sounds complicated but it is actually just a few short clicks.

Start by opening the course you want to add something to.

1. Click Settings.

2. Click Import Course Content on the far right.

1. Click Content Type and choose Copy a Canvas Course.

2. If courses don't show, just starting typing the name of the course you want to add from.

Click Select specific content.

Click Import.

On the next screen click Select Content.

1. Wiki Pages are just pages. Don't let the name Wiki throw you.

2. Click the resources you want to add.

3. Click Select Content.

The status bar should tell you how long it will take for the import.

The two items from my other course were imported in.
