How do you transfer a course from Canvas to Canvas? I tried using the directions on Canvas, but I cannot find the “Copy this Course” button. Please help

@CrystalAllen You may not have a "Copy this course" button depending on how your institution set a few of the permissions. For example, we do not allow our faculty to create courses so they can't copy a course either as that is essentially creating a new course.
You should still be able to copy a course through the import tool:

You can also have just selected content import during this process:
