Whether you are copying from a master course or a previous term, the process for connecting your Canvas course to your Soomo webtext is the same. Simply copy your course content, and the webtext links will come with it.

Note: The webtext will automatically link if you are using the same webtext title as the course you are copying from. If you are not using the same webtext title this term, you will need to delete the copied links and use the standard linking instructions for the new course shell.

Copy the course content

1. In your new Canvas course shell for the current term, go to Settings.

2. Click Import Course Content.

Canvas Course Details page with a box highlighting the Import Course Content option in the right-hand menu

3. From the Content Type drop-down menu, select Copy a Canvas Course.

4. Find the course you’d like to copy from (either your master course or a previous term’s course) and select it from the list.

5. Choose whether to import All content or to Select specific content.

6. Be sure to check the box for Adjust events and due dates.

7. Click the Import button.

Once the import is complete, your webtext links will appear in the Canvas course. You can click on any webtext link to confirm the connection and manage the due dates in the webtext.
