[ARCHIVED] Save an existing course as a template?

[tbaker4]

Wondering if I can save an existing course that I have made as a template to use for other courses? Thanks for any leads or links.

Hello  @tbaker4  and welcome to the Community.  You can do this, but I would recommend, if you have the permission, to add the course that you want to use as a template to a Sandbox course.  A Sandbox course is what we call a course shell that does not have any students in it, and you, as an instructor, can "play" in it and create templates.  Here is a link for copying a course into another course:  https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-13035-how-do-i-copy-a-canvas-course-into-a-new-course-shell .

Best of luck!
