Recovering Module Contents after "Copy to" Action

[WillFuriosi]

I am designing a course that the administrator created a uniform set of templates to utilize. They were organized under a singular module labeled 0 Template - X for each type of discussion, page, etc. 

I used "Copy to" to create copy of this and used it to build out my first module while retaining the templates as a master copy. When I used the "Copy to" again, the first module was incompletely overwritten. The pages and the quiz still exist, but a discussion post and assignment. All of the non-page items have been renamed, including the module itself.

Was there a better way to do this process? And is there a way to recover those lost components?

Once you have copied the template items into your course, you can duplicate the items and edit the duplicates, rather than the template items. This way you retain a clean set of the templated items for future duplication.
