Push Content from an Institutional Template into Another Course (Copy To:One)

Push Content from an Institutional Template into Another Course (Copy To:One)

In the tutorial below, you will learn how to copy content from the Institutional syllabus into a single syllabus using the Copy To: One option in Concourse. This is a helpful way of "pushing" content into a desired syllabus.

Note: Please remember that using Copy To: One is only good for copying content into a single syllabus. Therefore, if one is copying content from the Institutional template, they'd start on the Institutional template and push the content into a single destination syllabus. In our example below, we start in our Institutional Template and push it into our Macroeconomics course. This operation would NOT work if both of the syllabi were linked (e.g. Institutional template and course template) because the items are already linked and copying is unnecessary. This operation works best for templates to non-templates or non-templates to non-templates.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Below, we've provided pictures followed by corresponding written directions. 




1. Go into the course syllabus that has the content you wish to copy. In this case, we are using the Institutional Template and copying content into a live, non-template course: Macroeconomics.
2. Click on the Syllabus drop-down menu in the top-left corner, and select Copy. 



3. Select Copy To One. It's the center option on the copy page.



4. Search to find the destination syllabus. In our case, we need to copy some content from the Institutional Template into our Macroeconomics course. Pro Tip, when searching for syllabi, your Advanced Search should be limited to Non-templates because you started the operation from a template.

5. Select Copy to the left of the template title.



6. Next, you'll see a list of items you can copy. Select all that apply. 
7. Select Copy.
Note: You can only copy items that you have permission to edit on both syllabi. If you are trying to copy an item but it doesn't appear on the copy list, you probably have the incorrect permissions on at least one of the syllabi.

Once the copy operation is complete, the syllabus will load with the content you copied into it. Remember to always double-check your work!
