As an instructor, you can copy individual discussions in one course directly into any active course in which you are enrolled. You can also send discussions to other instructors at your institution. When you copy a discussion, any assets within that discussion topic (images, files, etc.) will be included in your discussion copy, replies are not included.
Notes:
- To share course content, you must have the Course Content - add / edit / delete permission enabled.

This behavior has been resolved and deployed to the production environment as of 2/1/24.
Description
If a user copies or sends a classic quiz to a new course while migrating them, and that quiz includes course navigation pages linked from the course, the linked pages links will not be accessible throwing the error “The page <page name> does not exist.“
Expected Behavior
Instead, users should be able migrate Classic Quizzes to New Quizzes during a course copy, without having the page links break.
Workaround
This only happens if the quiz is migrated during the copying process so if it’s migrated before, or after it’s been copied, the pages will appear and be linked just fine.
Steps to Reproduce
Prerequisites: A course that has New Quizzes and New Quiz migration enabled.
-
Create two courses within Canvas.
-
In the first course, create a Classic quiz and insert a page from the course into the quiz through the RCE. Either in the description or a question itself.
-
With the quizzes made, copy them to a new course while selecting the option to “Import existing quizzes as New Quizzes.”
-
Once the quizzes are copied, as a student navigate to the quiz and select the page link, notice that this does not open the expected page and instead displays the page error.
