WARNING: Be careful to select the empty course shell that will be the destination for the content you are about to copy. (You do not want to overwrite an existing course with a blank site, as this will delete your content.)

Select the Site Info tool from the Tool Menu of your destination or new site.

Click Import from Site from the Site Info tabs.

For most situations, we recommend clicking the second option: "I would like to merge my data." This preserves any content you already have added to your new course while merging it with content from your older course. Note that the first option, "I would like to replace my data," can be a destructive process, destroying content you may have already placed in your site. A more nuanced weighing of the pros and cons between "merge data" and "replace data" follows:

Replace data:

• overrides all existing content, including new template pages and tools, in favor or copied content
• retains Gradebook settings from the site from which content is imported
• may work best for subsequent uses of standard or minimal template or to preserve prior site design

Merge data:

• imports prior content while retaining new template pages and tools
• does not preserve Gradebook's settings from the site from which content is imported
• may work best for first time use of standard or minimal template

Select the site you want to copy content from from the list of sites.

Click the Continue button.

1. Use the checkbox at the top of the right column to select content from all tools.
2. Alternatively, you can check the boxes to the right of each tool to select specific tools to be copied.

If a tool is not active in the current site, the tool will have a + mark to indicate that it will be added to the current site if selected for import.

Note: For each tool selected, all of the content for that tool will be copied into the new course.

Once you have made your tool selections, click Finish to complete the import.

Note: The content import process may take a while depending on how much content you have, or if your institution has a queue for course imports on the server. Please wait for the process to finish.
