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.
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…
A recent change my students have been complaining about is that they now have to wait for Canvas to process submissions so that it can be displayed within the browser before they can check that the submission worked. When the servers are heavily loaded I have seen student need to wait 5 minutes for this. When submitting at…
If I access to the student card I can see the recent messages, but I would like to see all the messages, not only the recent. Thank you
We are testing a third party integration from our college's ERP provider. We have connected it to our test environment. It seems to have very few features and options. So, just wondering if there is a way to monitor API calls. I was able to use the DAPClient in Python to download canvas_logs in our production environment.…
