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?
I have Canvas set to drop the lowest quiz score, however, my students can only barely tell that the grade text is slightly grey when dropped. Can it have a tag like the "missing" and "exempt" ones in the student gradebook?
My Canvas shell has three different sections that all meet at different times throughout the week. I need to be able to batch edit assignment due dates by section, but right now Canvas can't filter by section for batch edit. My only option is now to manually (tediously) edit due dates for each assignment individually.
Morning! One of the more frustrating aspects of Canvas are groups and the issues that show up when copying courses that have them. But now we have yet another issue. Most recently we have had instances where people mark an assignment/discussion as a group assignment but then do not link the discussion or assignment to any…
So, we have encountered a few assignments where the Speedgrader presents the teacher with the "Empty Course" page, even though the course is not empty. I have discovered two New Quizzes in the same course where this has occurred, despite multiple students being assigned (at Module level, which passes the permission down to…
A teacher has expressed concerns with the recent update. Exact concern is as follows: "My Canvas has been acting glitchy since the last "update." For instance, when I grade essays the highlight and cursor tools do not always work. I have to try highlighting several times,or come back later to finish. It's told me I "ran…
