Duplicating a site

Printer-friendly versionPrinter-friendly version

When you duplicate a course site, you create a copy of the site that's not exactly like the original. The duplicate site won't include any student-entered material; only content posted by instructors will be included.

When you duplicate a project site, you create a copy of the site that's exactly like the original. All participant-entered materials will be included.

To duplicate your site, follow these steps:

  1. While you have the site open, from the menubar, click Site Info.
  2. Click Duplicate Site.
  3. In the "Site Title:" field, type in a name for the duplicate site, and then click Duplicate.

    Note: If you don't have sufficient rights to create a site, you'll receive the message, "Alert: You are not allowed to create a new site."

  4. Click Finish.

Additional Tip: If you duplicate a site and intend on deleting the original, it may be a good idea to give the new site a slightly different name (Anthro 20 Fa07 could be renamed Anthrop20_FA07). This may help after the duplication process to ensure you are indeed deleting the correct site. Typically the Duplication feature works best when an instructor has a lot of content they would like to use in a future semester.
