Copy a Course - Canvas Checklist

Hi Canvas Community!

Is there a Canvas resource to assist faculty understand/show what copies over from one course and what does not. I often have faculty looking for their assignments groups when they copy a course, but groups do not copy over. It would be helpful to send faculty a Canvas link to inform them of what "Copy this Course" includes and does not.

Thank you!

Better Submit Button UI to prevent accidental Submits Message
The current placement of the "Submit" button creates a "slip" in user behavior where habit-clicking "Next" leads to an accidental final submission. I think Canvas could easily fix this by: Moving the Submit button away from the navigation buttons (maybe above the question instead of below it) and/or Adding a "Confirm…
