Editing a Canvas Course offline for import into another course

Hi, everyone,

I exported one of my courses and would like to change it to another course (removing unnecessary files and assignments and making changes to the text). Is that possible, or do I have to import the content into the new course and change it on Canvas? The reason I didn't just do a straight copy inside of Canvas is that I don't want any updates made to the original course to affect the new course.

For clarification, I exported my "CIS-606 Visual Basic I" course and want to edit it and import it into my "NET-420 Introduction to Linux OS" course. I only needed two or three pages from the original course but had to export the entire course.

Thank you and have a great day. 🙂
Patrick.

Hi @PatrickDickey,

Great question! You can select the specific content that you'd like to import from the "CIS-606 Visual Basic I" course export package. I've linked a guide below that will you walk you through the steps to accomplish this: 
How do I select specific content as part of a course import?

Please let us know if you have additional questions after reading through the link documentation.
