Canvas allows you to export a copy of a module, which can be saved as a backup or imported into another Canvas module.

    Steps to Export a Module

    1. Open the module you want to export in Canvas.

    2. Click Settings in the module navigation menu.

    3. Select Export Module Content from the right-hand side.

    4. Choose Canvas Module Export Package as the export type.

    5. Click Create Export.

    6. Once the export has finished processing, click New Export to download the file to your computer.

    The exported file will download as a .imscc file, which can be stored securely or imported into another Canvas module.


    Important Notes

    • Exports include content such as pages, assignments, discussions, quizzes, and files.

    • Student data, submissions, and grades are not included in the export.

    • Depending on the size of the module, the export process may take several minutes.

    Exporting a module is useful for creating backups, sharing content with colleagues, or preparing material for future delivery.
