Copy Assignments to another Course

Instructors who teach multiple courses can now copy assignments to other courses. To copy assignments, you must be enrolled in both the source and destination course with a role having the permission Assignments > Copy to Other Courses in order to copy from source to destination.

Note: The permission is turned Off for all roles by default.

What attributes can be copied

Instructors can copy assignments in two ways:

Using the Assignments tool to select an existing assignment.
Using the New Content Experience (Lessons) tool.

Each of these methods enable instructors to copy the following assignment attributes to the new destination:
Assignment folder and its properties, including instructions, assignment category, and visibility.
Assignment properties including description and category.
Attachments like direct file attachments, uploaded from Google Work or OneDrive, and audio and video files.
Grade item and grade category
Availability dates
Submission and completion information, including the Optional Grade item and the course scheme if used.
Rubric(S) associated with the assignment to a shared rubric, the rubric is also copied. The copied assignment links to the copied rubric. If an assignment uses a rubric that is archived, the rubric is copied and retains its archived state in the destination course.

The following attributes are not copied:

Instruction Quicklinks and attachment resources created with the Attach link to existing activity action.
Instruction images added using Insert Image that were saved to course files
Availability release conditions and special access settings
Submission and completion information, including group assignment designation
Evaluation and Feedback information including Turnitin associations, competency, and outcome associations.
Content topic associations (for example, if the assignment is linked from content)
