Your Turnitin guidance is moving!
We’re migrating our content to a new guides site. We plan to fully launch this new site in July. We are making changes to our structure that will help with discoverability and content searching. You can preview the new site now. To help you get up to speed with the new guidance structure, please visit our orientation page .
Course copy recommendations
You can import content from past courses into your new course. The settings for past Turnitin enabled Canvas Assignments will copy into the new course though you can make adjustments as needed. You can find additional information about copying a course here.
Importing content from your old course into a new course
-
Select your new course.
-
Select Settings from the left-hand course menu.
-
Select Import Course Content from the right-hand menu.

Choose the Content Type from the dropdown. In this case, we are featuring Copy a Canvas Course.

Blueprint Course Copy Recommendations
Blueprint Courses allow administrators to update and maintain course templates across any number of courses or instructors. Associating a course with a blueprint course will mirror its contents, including all settings associated with them - this includes Canvas Plagiarism Framework settings. Blueprint courses give administrators the opportunity to create content whilst being able to lock specific settings or content; they can then push updates to all associated courses through course syncing. Any items that are not locked by an administrator can be managed by an instructor and are not overwritten when blueprint course updates are released by an administrator.
