[ARCHIVED] How to edit a previous course

[yadavd]

Hello

I had a course in my canvas which I took in 2018, I will be teaching this course in next Fall 2020, when I tried editing it, it doesn't allow me. Any help?

Hi DINESH YADAV,

Once a course has been concluded because it's past the terms end date editing of the course is no longer allowed. What we do is allow our instructors to have a master shell or #blueprint course‌ where they can make any edits they need to at anytime and once their shell for the term is made available to them they are then able to import the content from their master course or blueprint into the live shell. 

Depending on your permissions you may need to get with your Canvas administrator locally to see if this is allowed and how you need to go about requesting a master or blueprint shell. 

Hope this helps.
