In setting up a fall semester course, I inadvertently downloaded the wrong course and the wrong semester. Is there a way to either delete or start over so I don't have to change all the dates and content?
Hello @ThomasSheeran ...
Yes, there is a way to do this. You said you had imported (copied) the wrong content from a past course into the up-coming Fall semester course. Go into your up-coming Fall course, and then click on your course "Settings" link on the left-hand course navigation menu. On the right side of the screen that appears, click on the "Reset Course Content" link. This will essentially give you a new, empty course shell to use to copy content from a past course into your Fall course. Just be sure, before you click on "Reset Course Content", that you do not need any of the content in that course. Once the course has been "reset", you'll be able to re-import content from any other course you want.
How do I reset course content?
Just for some more detail on this...what the "reset" function actually does is creates a brand new Course ID number (your Course ID can be found in the URL of your course) and automatically moves all your enrollments from the current course to the new course for you. Everything appears seamless to the end user, and there shouldn't be any issues with doing this.
I hope this helps a bit. Sing out if you have any issues...thanks!

Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
