Cppying parts of a class

[BetsyBierer]

I want to copy some pages from another class to another as a faculty member. When I do and start editing the new class, it auto edits the class I copied from. I do not want this. Can someone help me.

Hi @BetsyBierer ,

Can you share what method you used to copy the pages from one course to another? There are multiple ways to do it, and knowing which one you used would help us to identify what might be happening.

I go into the first class - and open modules - then find the module I want to move to the second class. Then on the three dots there is a choice called copy to... 

I select the second class and hit copy. It then shows up in the second class, BUT if I edit it in the second class, it also edits it in the original class. I want it to remain the same in the original class, and just edit the title or minor things in the second class. 

For instance, if I have 10 pages 2 assignments and a quiz in the module... I may only need to adjust a few things for the other class, but I want the original class module to stay the same.

@BetsyBierer ...

Thank you for sharing your process.  It sounds like you are following the steps outlined in this Guide:

How do I copy a module to another course? - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com)

When you copy content like this, the content that you copied over to the second course should be independent of the content in the first course...meaning, if you now edit the content in the second course, there should not be any impact to the content in the first course.

Have you tried clearing your browser cache/history to see if that might make a difference?  After doing this, I always suggest completely closing your browser, re-starting the browser, and then logging back in to Canvas to see if anything had changed (hopefully for the better).

• How do I clear my browser cache on a PC?

If that still does not fix things, you might want to reach out to Canvas Support to see what they have to say.

Please keep us posted here in the Community...thanks!
