Some assignments do not have the option to duplicate:
Does anyone know if there are any reasons why an assignment wouldn't have the "duplicate" option? It is NOT an assignment with an external tool.
Thanks!
Hi @lindsay_henry ,
You cannot duplicate an assignment if it was created using the quiz tool or if it makes use of an LTI tool (TurnItIn, Proctorio).
But there is a workaround to this detailed pretty well in this article: Copying items in a course
It just uses the course import tool, but you just import from the same course you're currently in. How do I select specific content as part of a course import?
Let me know if I can explain any of this a little more in-depth!Best,Nick
I am surprised that more people have not brought this to the attention of Canvas.
It is exasperating to see that the "duplicate" button is missing from particular assignments, and yet other assignments that were created in the same manner will have the "duplicate" button as an option.
Canvas, please advise.
@Lindsay Henry, I know that if I have differentiated an assignment with different due dates it does not duplicate. I don't know if that helps or not.

Hello @lindsay_henry ...
I have marked @ns3320 's response as "Correct" because he has provided you the best solution for your needs. I also wanted to provide you with a link to https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-13697-4152811835 because it describes in the blue boxed area what items in your "Modules" screen can and cannot be duplicated at this time. I hope this additional information will be helpful to you, Lindsay.
This is stupid. Why can't I simply duplicate a quiz? This is a big need!! I have to fix/update quizzes all the time so it will be fixed for the next semester and now I have to reimport?
Hi Lindsay,A little after the fact but hopefully someone finds this useful in the future. I was trying to figure this out tonight and stumbled upon a solution. You can copy the assignment - even a quiz - and it will just show up in the Imported Assignments folder. Just ignore the warning about the content getting overwritten - this would only happen if you somehow forced the copy to be in the same folder as the original, or didn't remove a copy from the Imported folder before copying a second time. Hopefully this helps someone,-Brandon
I'm not sure that this is the right place to post about this, but I was wondering if anyone has a fix for how the scroll bar for the entire page covers the scroll bar for just a document viewed in Canvas. The scroll bar for a document will stay visible until one attempts to interact with it, at which point the bar for the…
Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
After using Canvas for a while, I picked up a small habit that’s saved me some last-minute stress with written submissions. Even when drafts are original, longer explanations and summaries tend to reuse common phrasing, especially in research-heavy assignments. Before submitting, I usually do a quick cleanup pass to reduce…
In the "How do I use the Learning Mastery Gradebook" page, under "Student scores" (https://community.instructure.com/en/kb/articles/660932-how-do-i-use-the-learning-mastery-gradebook-to-view-outcome-results-in-a-course#view-student-scores), the displayed gradebook shows a little colorful square and also points for each…
In Classic Quizzes, it is possible to display question-level feedback to students without manually grading an essay question on a quiz. Can this be enabled in New Quizzes? Use Case: This feature is vital for practice quizzes that include essay questions along with other question types. We mix essay questions with other…
