Is it possible to copy a course site in Beta to a Production course site? The Original Prod site was deleted and then restored but it's missing content.
Solved! Go to Solution.
A direct copy from the beta environment to the production environment is not possible, but you can create a course export file on the beta environment, download it to your local computer, and then import it into a course on the production environment. I suggest importing it into a sandbox course on your production environment and then doing a direct copy from there. That way you won't have to worry about duplicating content during your initial import.
Good luck with your recovery efforts, @enc2103. Remember that the beta environment is refreshed weekly!
