Notes in the webtext help you organize important information and guide students to key concepts. If you’re teaching multiple sections of the same course, you can easily copy your notes to those sections, helping you stay organized without repeating the same work.

If annotation sharing is enabled for your webtext, you can copy both your private and shared notes to other sections. Otherwise, you can still copy your private notes.

To get started with notes in the webtext, visit our article, How do I make and share notes?

Once you’ve made your notes, you can view all of them by selecting the My Notes option from the Tools Menu.

A webtext page with an arrow pointing to the Tools Menu in the upper right corner of the screen. The My Notes option is highlighted.

From there, click the Copy Notes to Other Sections button in the upper right corner.

The My Notes page with an arrow pointing to the Copy Notes to Other Sections button.

A list of eligible sections will appear. You can copy your notes to sections that meet the following criteria:

  • They use the same version of the webtext as the source course.

  • The sections are in the same academic term.

  • You are enrolled as an instructor.

Choose which types of notes you’d like to copy (shared, private, or both), and select the sections to which you’d like to copy them.

Review the selected sections and note types, then confirm your choices by clicking Start Copying. You’ll see a confirmation message once the copying process is complete. Your notes will now appear in the selected sections.

Tip: If you’ve already copied notes to a section and later make edits to those notes, you can copy them again. The updated notes will replace the previous version without creating duplicates.
