Is it possible for Canvas to have an "Copy to All" button for assignments, modules, files, etc? Or a select dropdown menu to choose classes?
Hi @JohnnyAppleseed ...
This would probably be a new feature request to have this kind of functionality within Canvas...where you could place a checkmark next to "x" number of courses and the content would automatically be imported (copied) into those courses. The entire feature idea process is undergoing some changes at the moment, and you can read more about that at this link:

All that being said, I do have one work-around for you to consider. You could use Canvas Commons to accomplish something similar to what you are requesting. You would either share an entire course to Canvas Commons, or you could share just parts of a Canvas course to Canvas Commons. Once the course and/or the individual parts are shared to Canvas Commons, you would import that content from Commons instead of importing directly from the course. You'd need to enroll yourself as the instructor in any of the courses you wanted to import that content from Commons into...because you'll have an opportunity to select multiple courses all at one time...as you are hoping to do. I'm not sure how much you've used Commons in the past, but I wanted to just point out that if you do share an entire course to Commons, you cannot then choose parts of that course you've shared to import into other courses. Those other parts of the course must be first shared separately to Commons, and then you can import them to the other courses...similar to how I described importing the full course from Commons.
Would this process work for your needs? Hoping this might save you a bit of time.
Take care...be well.
Among all the things that I wish Canvas had is that one! Is it something that is been worked on? We had it in Blackboard (legacy) and I sorely miss and need in Canvas (we just transitioned to it from Bb). Please add this very needed feature!
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…
