This article will guide on:
The Copying / Resharing feature gives you the flexibility to quickly copy all materials (lessons and assessments) from one classroom to another classrooms. This will basically allow you to replicate the structure of a classroom to a new one which can be very useful in case you need to migrate materials to new classrooms without the hassle of creating the same content over and over again.
Currently, this feature allows instructors to copy / reshare materials at all the three levels on the materials page. The three levels being the classroom, sections and materials level. So, now you can make a copy of materials in the same classroom or choose to reshare / copy them in other classrooms in a go.
Reshare: When you "reshare" a material (like a lesson or assessment) with multiple classes, it's essentially the same material shared across all classes. Any changes made to this material in any of the classes will be reflected in all the other classes where it's shared. For example, if you adjust the deadline of an assessment in one class, the deadline will change for all classes where the assessment is reshared.
Copy: When you "copy" a material to multiple classes, each class gets its own unique copy. Changes made to the material in one class will not affect the original or the copies in other classes. So, if you modify the deadline of an assessment in one class, it won't impact the deadlines in the other classes.
