When you import one course into another, during the import process, there is an option to modify the due dates and availability dates all at one time.

2. Fill out the start / end date for the original course and the new start / end date for the course you are copying content into.
3. You can click "+Substitution" button to change which days of the weeks the events and due dates should now be on (if applicable).

While the Import Course Content process brings over much of the content developed in a previous version of the course, there may be a number of external applications that need to be updated to work correctly in this new copy of your course. If you used one of the tools listed below in a previous version or your course, or in an early course sandbox, please review the information to update these resources as well.
