[ARCHIVED] Page copy feature is dangerous! There needs to be a warning.

I wanted to copy a page from a previous course into my current course so I accessed the past course, located the page and used the copy to feature to copy it. There was a page with the same name on my current shell so I figured Canvas would either:

  1. Ask if I wanted to replace the current page
  2. Copy it using a new page with "copy" appended to it

It did neither. It just replaced my current page without any warning. Thankfully that was my intention so it didn't cause any issues but that may not always be the intention.

There should be a "are you sure you want to replace" warning.
