I have some content that I uploaded into the Commons - it's just a module with a few pages. I want to import it into my course, but the course I want to import it into doesn't show up in the list. I've checked to make sure the course is published, and I can't seem to figure out what is different about the courses that do show up on that list and the ones that don't.
Hi Stephanie, thank you for responding! It's not a huge problem, I work around it by just importing content into my new course from other courses. It's just a module with some pages that I use over and over again in every course and it would be nice to be able to just pull them from the commons. It's puzzling why some courses show up in the list so I can choose it. Is anyone else having this problem?
I haven't seen this problem and your best bet to track down the issue might be to contact Canvas Support. You can do this by clicking the Help link in Canvas and Reporting a Problem.
Lori,

Has anyone ever figured out an answer for this? I'm having the same problem but I can't use the same work around as Lori Sobota. I need to import this content from Commons so it will auto-update when we update the original content and export it again to commons.
The course is published and has enrollment but it's still not showing up in my options to import from Commons.
Ah. There appears to be a little bit of a lag between the creating of the course and it showing up into the checkbox. Approximately 10-20 minutes. I suppose patience is the answer to my question.
Thanks for coming back and letting us know what you found!
I'm having the same problem. The new course I want to import into is published and I refresh every 10 min or so.
The course is still not showing up in the list to "Import to Canvas".
I was able to get it sorted out.
I enrolled myself in the course as a teacher and a Student. Then the course populated in the list.
Lori, I apologize that your question has been sitting out here for so long without a response! I suspect this is something that would require the assistance of Canvas Support, so if you were able to resolve this issue either on your own or with the help of support, please take a moment to update the thread to let us know what you figured out.
