Hi @jfarrelly,

As far as I know, importing a course into a new one should create new, distinct pages that you can edit separately of the originals. There might be a number of reasons why yours seemingly created a link instead.

I remember once copying a page by hand and pasting it in another course, not realising that the links on that page would still be linked to the old course (if you copy the course, the new links are always to that new course). I clicked the link, thinking I was still working in course B, when in fact I had been transported back to A. I did not realise my mistake until later, when I checked both A and B and saw the changes were in the wrong course. Similarly, I created a redirect link to a specific page in a course last year. After copying the course for the new school year, the redirect link somehow still referred to the old course, meaning the students of the new course could not access it, and any edits I made were of the old pages.

I find it helps to check the course code in the url to see if what I am editing is the old or new course. If I see the course code change when changing pages, I know something is wrong. Could you check and see if the codes are the same, and if so, what might have caused the link?
