Transfering and Sharing Content in Canvas
Copying/Sharing individual items
Copying an item between your courses:
Use this method if you want to move just an item or two into another course you already have.
Find the item you want to copy over.
Click on the three dots to the right and choose “Copy to…”
Choose the course you want to copy it to, including into which module (optional).
Click on Copy, and it should give you a confirmation message.
Sharing an item with a colleague:
Find the item you want to share.
Click on the three dots to the right and choose “Send to…”
Start typing the person’s name and click on their info once it appears as a drop-down.
Click on Send, and it should give you a confirmation message.
Importing an item that has been shared with you:
When something is shared with you, you should see a red number badge on the Account icon to the left.
Click on the Account icon, and then on Shared Content.
Click on the three dots to the right of the shared content and choose preview, import or remove.
For pages and assignments, you can preview them before deciding whether to actually import it. As New Quizzes are technically an external tool, you can’t preview those. You will need to import it to see it, and then can decide to keep it or delete it.
