Canvas's Direct Share feature allows instructors to share individual course items to their other Canvas courses, and easily share individual course items with other instructors in Canvas. To use this tool you will need to have a course role of Teacher, TA, Admin Staff, or Designer in your Canvas course.
Please keep in mind that Direct Share is only for sharing individual items. If you wish to copy an entire course's content over to a new Canvas course site, it is best to use Canvas's course import tool to complete the course copy process.
