Is Canvas read only?

Canvas Support has removed Canvas courses of past semesters from users' Courses menu and enabled date restrictions on past courses in Canvas to make them read-only. This prevents both students and instructors from making any additional changes to the site. This action was taken to resolve some issues where instructors were editing past sites (instead of current ones) and for basic housekeeping (since these courses get moved out of a user's current course list). This action also protects student data in the case of a grade challenge. The courses will be maintained for grade challenges for five years.

Can you copy a Canvas course?
