I cannot copy a course - I keep getting a message that there was an error and to reload page.....HELP
Hi @SarahSiroka - What are the exact steps you are following? And are you Copying a course? Or importing content from a course?
At our school district, only a Canvas Admin can copy a course (but teachers can import content from a course).
I do know that on some rare occasions when teachers have imported, and they had an error, it was either because their course exceeded the courses size limitations, OR there was something else corrupted in their course. A couple of example of issue with something being corrupted in their course was: way toooooo many Assignments in a course, and this happened because they accidentally had imported a course multiple times, have 4 or 5 or more copies of their Assignment Groups and Assignments. In another example they had bad HTML code on some pages, which was causing issues.
I have the same issue for a course that I have copied a lot of time in the past without any issues. I keep getting: "Something went wrong during copy course operation. Reload the page and try again.". Any idea on what is going on?
The steps are the same steps that I always do:
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I wish I had a clue = has anyone out there copied a course successfully????
seems to work now for me too - so odd -
I been having issues trying to create new courses from existing courses. It show error when uploading at the end. What can I do as it is so frusturating.
Same has been happening to me. Have you found a workaround?
I followed exactly these same steps which has always worked.
Same thing happening to me. I just tried starting with a new course & copying content & assignments from last semester's course. That isn't working either.
I have copied courses for years and never had a problem until now. Our semester starts in a few days, so I'm in a total panic. I'm using a free teacher account so I don't have support on my (Blackboard) campus.
No workaround. I just tried opening a new course & copying individual content & assignments from last semester's version. That's not working either.
This is the first time in years that I've needed tech support from Canvas & cannot find anything other than their chatbot—no phone number or email.
Hi @AnneHird3958777 …
I assume that you are using the Course Import Tool to copy (import) content from one course to another, right? I'm also assuming that you have access to your previous course and your current course so that you can import content. When importing content, I always suggest that people log into the course that does not have any content in it (your current course). Then, using the Course Import Tool, you would select the past course that has the content, and then the Course Import Tool would copy (import) the content for you.
This is the Guide I recommend using. Again, log in to your current course. Then, when you get about half-way down this Guide, under the section on "Search Course", this is where you would select your past course.

I hope this will help a bit, Anne. Sing out if you have any questions about this. Thanks!
Did you figure out a fix for this?
Did you ever find a fix for this?
If I access to the student card I can see the recent messages, but I would like to see all the messages, not only the recent. Thank you
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…
