Overview

  • Within Syllabus Management, users can create a new document by using the prior year’s document, even when the documents live in different Syllabus Groups.

  • In other words, faculty can use this functionality to copy their syllabus from a previous term so they can make small edits and reuse their syllabus without having to copy/paste or start from scratch.

  • This guide explains the process.
