When copying course content to a new course year/semester, is there a way to do it without it publishing everything? I find it laborious and irritating that you have to go through and click "unpublish" for every item when a course is copied.
Hello @SandraGalloway
Currently, there isn't a built in feature to copy a course and keep everything unpublished as it will copy over verbatim including the state it is in. There have been others asking for this and hopefully in the future the option will be there:

There is however, work arounds if you are familiar with fixing things on the backend or can get your IT support at the school to assist. Here would be the fix to copy everything while making all of the modules, assignments, or files unpublished. This is not official Canvas documentation but it should work as it has helped others do the same: https://daveeargle.com/2019/10/25/canvas-unpublish-hack/

I've gotten this email approximately 9000 times in the last two days and it is completely useless. We have a "Program Commons" Canvas shell where we store the worksheets and other documents shared between many classes in the same program. Every course homepage has a "Get Started Here" section with an ordered list, where…
Hello! A caution to my fellow Admins and support folks that Instructure updated their live-chat link (the one in the "(?) Help" menu, if you license their Support Chat service) fairly recently, but the old broken one is still online and appears as if it still functions. If someone hits the old link, after entering their…
We are in the middle of add/drop, where students are changing classes regularly as they find the right fit for them. I have been using SIS Import to quickly update class rosters, but a downside is that teachers do not receive a notification when their rosters are updated. Is there a way to alert teachers that a new student…
Hi, I'm reading that Amazon is blocking Meta's Muse from making purchases there. Could Instructure have Canvas instances block AI agents similarly - or, leave institutions with the ability to choose to block, etc. etc.? Limiting access tokens is great and all, but we're pretty sure all these web browsers with AI enabled,…
