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Currently, there isn't a built in feature to copy a course and keep everything unpublished as it will copy over verbatim including the state it is in.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:

However, to do this, I need to have them downloadable as a QTI 2.1 option. My options or limited. #1 I can load to a Classic Quiz which my university does not prefer, download the questions…
Known issue - headings Just wanted to note that this known issue is described as 'styling', when it is actually an accessibility issue. Headings are structure on the page and essential for users who rely on screenreaders.
It is possible to import tags or other metadata when importing in a QTI file? I've tried everything I can think of, but it seems to get stripped out every time. Are any metadata types allowed?
