I accidentally imported "copy a Canvas course" & imported the entire course. Is there a way to undo that import so I will not have duplicate everything?
Unfortunately, there isn’t an “undo” option once a Copy a Canvas Course import has run. When the entire course is imported, all content is duplicated into the destination course.
Here are a few options you can try:
Delete duplicates manually – You can go through the course and delete the duplicate items (pages, assignments, files, etc.), but this can be time-consuming.
Reset course content – If it’s still early and you don’t need to keep anything else in the course, you can go to Settings → Reset Course Content. This clears everything out so you can start fresh and re-import only what you need (using the Select specific content option).
Check with your admin – If the course already has student work or activity, resetting isn’t safe. In that case, reach out to your Canvas admin for help restoring the course to an earlier state.
For future imports, I definitely recommend using “Select specific content” so you only bring over what you need and avoid duplicates.
Hope this helps!
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…
