It's easy to copy content from one Brightspace course to another—just follow these steps [scroll down if you'd prefer to view a video demonstration]:
STEP 1. Go to the Brightspace course you you want to copy content into (not the course you'll be copying it from).
STEP 2. Click Course Admin in the course navigation menu. This will open the "Course Administration" page.

STEP 3. Click Import / Export / Copy Components. This will open a page with the same name.

STEP 4. Make sure Copy Components from another Org Unit is selected (it usually is by default), then click the Search for offering button below it. This will open the "Select Course Offering" window.

STEP 5. Enter part or all of the name of the course you want to copy content from, then click the Search button. A list of courses matching your search term(s) will be displayed.
STEP 6. Select the course you need on the search results list.
STEP 7. Click the Add Selected button. This will close the window, and the name of the course you selected will now appear under the "Course to Copy" heading on the Import/Export/Copy Components page.

STEP 8. Click the Copy All Components button at the bottom of the page. (See the note below if you're considering selecting components to copy.) The "Copy Course Components History" page will then open, and you'll see a progress bar on it that indicates the copy process is running. Once it has finished, you'll see a confirmation message.

NOTES
NOTES
If your course is already open to students and you're copying a course that has a lot of announcements without end posting dates, you won't want to include them in your copy, as they'll be sent to students via email all at once when the course copy is completed. Instead, you'll want to click the Select Components in Step 8, then select all of your course's content to copy except for its announcements.
Otherwise, we recommend that you copy all of a course's content, then delete content you don't need, rather than selecting components to copy. This is because when you copy only part of a Brightspace course, sometimes all of content you need isn't included; for example, if you copy an assignment that has a file attached to it, the file may not be included with the copy.
