Give admins a way to encourage teacher course copy of ONLY linked (used) files

[DavidSchlater]

I put this idea in a while back:

https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Ideas/Course-Import-Export-Create-an-easy-way-to-copy-a-co...

As and admin I'd like to give faculty two easy choices for course copy one being the whole course and all files, one being only "linked" files to help clean out years of uploads and tons of content that is not accessible and not being used...

Any thoughts as to if this is being worked on? Essentially a pre-made easy way to click everything but the Files area when you do a specific content copy - but front and center and not as involved as a specific copy. Let admins make this the default copy choice and then have teachers pick the "all content" option if the need that...

Since you only submitted this idea less than two months ago, it's still categorized with a status of "New".  This document describes the different status "states" that you may see:
