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
We are testing a third party integration from our college's ERP provider. We have connected it to our test environment. It seems to have very few features and options. So, just wondering if there is a way to monitor API calls. I was able to use the DAPClient in Python to download canvas_logs in our production environment.…
To the Canvas Product Team, I am writing to request a new global or course-level setting for the Rich Content Editor (RCE). Currently, when images are uploaded or embedded, Canvas defaults to displaying the full image. For many lab-based and data-heavy courses—such as my current molecular biology lab course—we often need…
Our Spanish department uses New Quizzes/Essay question type for students to record themselves talking using the record media function in the RCE. They did this all last year. However, now when the students log in to take the quize, the upload/record media icon isn't available to them. Is this a new issues? Anyone have any…
I am trying to use Learning Outcomes for my course which has many sections each term. We currently have no institutional, school or program outcomes. I created a set of outcomes for Section 1 of my course. I then labelled every question in the item banks I was using in my first quiz (New Quiz) of the semester. I got a nice…
I have been experimenting with NotebookLM for some professional and hobby interests and have discovered incredible insights from querying sources with the Gemini chatbox interface. For our ID work in Canvas, we need an AI-powered dashboard similar to NotebookLM where IDs and Directors can query about their assigned courses…
