[ARCHIVED] Tracking course numbers with course names.

[gnoack]

How do you track the course number in Canvas with the actual course name?  This would be important for restoring deleted courses.  I'm new to Canvas and when exploring the restore courses tool it seems to me that you would need a record of each courses id number (the number at the end of the courses URL).

What I do is at the end of each semester, I run the provisioning report and download the courses.csv file (actually I download all of the files available in the provisioning report).  In the courses.csv file you will find the canvas_course_id which is the number that you see in the URL after /courses/.
