I MISTAKENLY COPIED THE WRONG COURSE INTO THIS SEMESTER'S SHELL. I READ THAT I CAN GO TO MY COURSE SETTINGS AND SIMPLY PRESS THE RESET COURSE CONTENT TAB ON THE SIDEBAR BUT I DON'T SEE THE TAB. CAN ANYONE HELP?
@lpittman It sounds like your institution has turned off instructors' ability to reset course content. We in this community do not have the ability to reset your course content. I would recommend reaching out to Canvas support or to your institution's Canvas support.

As @james_whalley mentioned, I too feel it is best to reach out directly to your Canvas Admin. They'd be able to reset your course content for you, since it appears to be disabled for teachers at your school. Many admins do this so teachers don't unintentionally reset course content that could result in a loss of assignment grades and other data information that is necessary for the school year.

Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
