Import/copy content index back to index

Course data (labels, materials, quizzes, forum structure, assignment placeholders, etc) may be imported from one site to another in a matter of minutes.

  1. Go to the homepage where you want to add content.
  2. Click Import link in the the Administration side-block.
  3. Select the site you wish to import from and click the Use this course button.
  4. Select the content that you want by using checkboxes, proceed through the series of screens by clicking Continue button (4 times)
  5. Do NOT click blue Continue link which will appear at the very end, otherwise you will interrupt importing process. Wait until the screen refreshes by itself.

Note that the Import feature will not import user specific data, such as forum posts or assignment submissions; it will only import the structure of such activities. If you want an exact replica of a site with all the user data, you may use a Backup/Restore feature, or better contact Moodle Support team via moodle@umn.edu, so we can help you out.
