How to Copy a Class

This page is for teachers.

To reuse work you created in a class, you can copy a class. Copying also helps you save time when you have multiple sections of the same class.

Only teachers and co-teachers of classes with the Classwork page can copy a class. The teacher who copies the class becomes the primary owner of the copied class. To check if your class has the Classwork page, see Does my class have the Classwork page.

You can copy both active and archived classes. Copies of archived classes become active classes.

Items that copy

The copied class keeps this information from the original class:

• Title
• Section
• Description
• Course subject
• Topics
• Classwork posts (copied as drafts with no scheduled date)

Items that don't copy

The following information doesn’t appear in the copied class:

• Teacher announcements
• Deleted classwork items
• Students and co-teachers
• Student posts
• Attachments that you don’t have permission to copy

Classroom might take a while to copy your class. In the meantime, you can leave the page during the copying process to work on other things. When copying is complete, you’ll get a notification email.
