Disable Canvas Commons - What happens to my uploaded content and data?

[FabianHoll]

In my University we have to agree to the terms of Service of Commons and also have the option to take our agreement back and consequently stop using Commons. 

What happens with content I may have uploaded to Commons. Will it disapear or will it remain in Commons?

Hi @FabianHoll ...

I may be completely wrong on this, but my gut feeling on this is that any content that a user shared to Canvas Commons (be it a full course or a single item such as a page, assignment, discussion, etc.) would remain in Commons for others to potentially import into their own course(s).  However, to be absolutely sure, I suggest that you reach out to Canvas Support to see what they have to say.  You can contact the Canvas Help Desk staff by using the following link:

How do I get help with Canvas as an instructor?

Please come back to this topic to provide an update once you have had a conversation with Canvas Support.  Thank you!

@FabianHoll The content will remain in Commons and the original content will be left in Canvas.
