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!

Has anyone had a chance to try this with a Canvas quiz? Seems it may have a similar effect as ChatGPT Atlas able to provide all the answers to an open Quiz. https://www.theregister.com/2026/03/05/microsoft_adds_a_sidepane_for/
When you are creating a quiz and/or also reviewing a quiz in Canvas after the class has taken it, the questions aren't numbered so after you get past the first few questions, there is no way to even tell what number you are on. Can someone change that?
Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
