[ARCHIVED] Import another class into the new Canvas shell.

[erika_hebert]

I am trying to import material from another class.  I go to the import settings & type in the Canvas course name but I still get a red error.  At first, I entered the course name and then I just entered the number.  I am not sure what I am doing wrong.  Please advise.

Hi  @erika_hebert  Welcome to the Canvas Community. 

When you fill in the 'Search for a course' field are you putting in the full name of the course? A list of course options ought to appear, or just the correct one that you want to copy from. Just putting in the identifying last digits is not enough information I don't think. 

The steps in this guide ought to help https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-12935-415257077  

Sing out if you need a hand.

I will take a look now. Initially, I did enter the class number and name and then I tried just the number.

Thanks,

Just the name is all you need.
