Course Import Tool Needs Option to Bulk Unpublish Content
When teachers use the course import tool to import entire courses or course content into a new course, they currently do not have the option to unpublish the course content in bulk. As it works now, the content imports in the same published state from the original course. Teachers are not able to unpublish assignments from the original course, so it isn't always possible to unpublish items before importing them into a new course. Teachers often have one day to wrap up an existing course and set up a course for the new term, so many spend a lot of time manually unpublishing course content that was imported already published.
The course import tool needs the ability to bulk unpublish any imported course content. It would be even more useful if teachers could select the content that is unpublished. For example, they may want to leave their home page published when importing an entire course, but they may wish to unpublish all modules and the content in those modules until closer to the date they will be used in class. Offering the option to Unpublish imported course content would save teachers time as they set up their new courses.
