Copy an Old Course to a New Course (Import from Site)

Import from Site allows you to copy an old course to a new course. However, it is very important that you are in the new course when you use Import from Site, otherwise, you will write over your old course. Also, you must select all the tools when using Import from Site, otherwise, links will be broken. Secondly, make sure your tools match. For example, Gradebook Classic is the default gradebook in the Semester II courses. if you are using Gradebook in your most recent course, you need to go into Site Info => Manage Tools and turn off Gradebook Classic and turn on Gradebook, otherwise the Gradebook will NOT copy.
