Import/Export/Copy Components is a tool that is used to help with various aspects of a course, more specifically, course content. Some of the features that are used to move course components include copying, importing, and exporting different materials.
What can I do with the Import/Export/Copy Components tool?
This tool allows users to import content into their course sites or export elements they have created to be used in a different course page. It serves as a means to transport content between different course pages. Note that this tool is dependent on the access level a user has in a given course site. The Import/Export/Copy option will only be available if you are enrolled either as an instructor or supplemental instructor in a course.
