How to Reset Content
What is the Reset Option?
The reset option allows instructors to delete all content in a course. This can be helpful if you copy the wrong content into a course when using the import option. While this option is useful, it should be used sparely and carefully. Please the tabbed menu below.
Important Notes!
Please note the following:
- This option is permanent so be absolute sure you want to delete ALL content in the course! Before using this option create an export and download the export file or save the content to the Commons before resetting the course.
- DO NOT USE this option in live course that has student submissions!
- When you reset a course, it will be unmarked as favorite on your dashboard. You must mark it again as favorite so it will appear on your dashboard. See Navigating Canvas for details on setting course favorites.
How to Reset Content
Click Settings in the left navigation of the course. On the Settings page click Reset Content in right menu. A dialog box will appear warning you that this option is permanent. Click Reset Course Content. See the following Canvas guide for more information.
