Reuse Past Semester's Content

Sometimes when you start a new school year, your timetable looks similar or maybe even the same as past school years you've taught. You can re-create an existing semester's timetable and classes to help save you valuable time in your year-over-year setup. Copying a previous semester will also reassign any lesson templates, standards, and curriculum maps that were previously assigned to those classes, and you will have the option to copy over lesson and assessment content as well.

Reuse Content

1. Open the Lessons menu, then click Semesters.
   This will bring you to the Semesters page, where you can see the list of your previous semesters.
2. Click the + Add Semester button.
3. Fill out the appropriate data, including the name of your new semester and the start and end dates. Click Next when finished.
4. You will be given the option to create a new semester or copy a previous semester. Click on the Copy a previous semester option.
5. Select the previous semester with the classes and timetable you want to copy, then click Next.
6. Select which classes to be copied into your new semester and whether or not to copy over units or lessons.
7. Click Create and it will begin the copying process for the classes and materials you specified.
   The copy will continue after you close this window, so you may perform other actions in your account while it is processed. You may even edit your Timetable for the new semester to accommodate changes in your schedule, but any edits made to lessons while copying takes place may result in an unsuccessful copy.

You will receive a notification when the content has finished copying.
