Note:

The following instructions are for copying individual items from a course. For instructions on copying an entire course, visit the Course Copy page.

Note:

Copying components does not overwrite previous items in a course; instead, it adds to the items already in the course. For example, if a course contains 5 quizzes and a course with 3 quizzes is copied into it, the course will contain 8 quizzes. If the same component or tool is copied multiple times it will create duplicates. The only component that can be overwritten is a course file if the file being copied has the same name as the existing file.
