Disassociate Multiple course blueprint

[juking]

We are just getting started with Canvas and as the admin I have associated 3 semesters worth of courses to our master blueprint.  Now I need to disassociate a whole semester.  How can I do that without having to click  2,000 times?  Can it be done in the CSV file?

This can be done by CSV file. I just tested it out. Simply upload a CSV file called courses.csv with all of the relevant data, and under the blueprint_course_id, put dissociate in the column:

course_id,short_name,long_name,status,blueprint_course_id
course1,course1,course1,active,dissociate
course2,course2,course2,active,dissociate

Make sure it says active instead of deleted. I was doing some other experimentation, so I had that in there originally. I don't want you to accidentally delete all of your courses.

Thank you!  I have been searching everywhere and could not find any information.  I appreciate it!

You're welcome! I was experimenting with some enrollments and came across the info accidentally. 🙂

In case anyone is wondering for the future, this is explained in the How do I format CSV text files for uploading SIS data into a Canvas account?  in the section for "courses.csv" files.  A screenshot is below.
