LTI 1.3 allows admins or instructors to copy your course in Cloud in just a few quick steps.
Follow the steps below to create a new copy of your course.
1. Copy your course shell according to your school's policies and procedures
1.1. In Canvas, navigate to the course you would like to copy

1.4. Update the course name, course code, and (optional) fill in other fields

This will take you to the Course Setup page in Cloud.
If you get an error instead of the Course Setup page, follow these steps:
- Modify the course's name in Canvas by adding a number to the end. (This can be removed once you are finished copying the course.)
- Click on the link again and continue to step 5 below.
- (Optional) Remove the number you added to the course name in step 1 here.
5. Review and edit the information displayed on the Course Setup page
These fields will be autofilled, but may take a few seconds to populate. Once they have autofilled, you can make updates as needed.
You can delete the extra digits you added to the course name now.
