Duplicating Content (e.g., labels, activities, blocks, etc.)

Welcome! In this tutorial, you will learn how to duplicate any contents (e.g., labels, activities, or blocks, etc.) in your course page.

In some cases, you may need to duplicate content in your course page. This tutorial introduces a feature that saves you time in creating the same content on your course page. For example, you want to duplicate a forum called “Q&A for the 1st assignment” (although this works for other content as well!)


Step 1:


Click “Turn editing on” at the top of the course site.


 

Step 2:

Click on “Edit” next to Q&A forum for the 1st assignment. Then, select “Duplicate”.

Step 3:

The duplicate of “Q&A forum” will be shown under the original one. Click on the  duplicate_step3  icon to edit the title of the forum (e.g., Q&A forum for the 2nd assignment).
