Reset course content - course details remain intact

[FotiosGkouvas]

Hello team

So I am familiar with the reset content button. On the official Canvas guide it states that "Course details and enrollments will remain intact within your course. "
My question is which course details will remain intact? Is there a defined list? I know that the following details will not change:

• Course Name: The title of the course will remain unchanged.
• Course Description: The course description that was entered in the course settings will still be there.
• Course Timeframe: The start and end dates for the course will remain intact

Do we know if there are any other course details which will remain intact? (and of course if I made a mistake above please feel free to let me know).

Thank you so much for your help.

Fotis

From some quick testing

These elements DO NOT stay: Feature Options, Navigation, Assignment Group weights, Late Policies, Grade Posting Policy, Gradebook View Options*, Gradebook filters

These elements DO stay: Sections, Enrollments, Course Details, whether Assignment Group weighting is enabled

*If you change the color of a status, that is retained.

The SIS ID will also stay and if you query the CD2 courses table, (https://data-access-platform-api.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/tables/catalog.html#schemas.canvas.co...), you will see the old Canvas course ID (replacement_course_id), the SIS ID will be removed from the old entry and go with the new course ID.
