Copy an Entire Course

A full course copy brings all the content from another course into your course. It keeps all settings, including due dates, visibility, and release conditions.

Start the copy from the course you want to copy content into. You can't copy a course into itself.

If you have the appropriate permissions, you can copy courses that you're not enrolled in. The following privileges can copy all courses:

  • Administrator Panel (Courses) > Courses > Copy Course

  • Administrator Panel (Organizations) > Organizations > Copy Organization

Important

When you perform a full course copy, all settings are preserved (including due dates, visibility states, and release conditions). However, course links inside of learning modules with forced sequencing can’t be copied. This prevents users from navigating outside of the forced sequencing option. When a course link is copied, all associated content is also copied.
