Is it possible to transfer an older course site on CANVAS to a current (Spring 2020) site? How?

[nalarsen]

I need, if possible, to transfer all of the course files from a winter 2019 course to a new spring 2020 course site. so as to avoid having to download all of the files individually.  (Some of the original files were lost.)

 @nalarsen , you can copy some or all of the content from the old course into the new one by following the instructions in 

How do I export a Canvas course? 

How do I import a Canvas course export package? 

How do I select specific content as part of a course import? 

Or, you can copy the course using the method described in https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-13035-4152239683 —again, remembering to select specific content before proceeding with the copy.
