Q. How do I copy a reading list from an existing course into a new Canvas course?

Reading Lists do not copy over as part of the Canvas Course Copy/Import or Blueprint Sync process. However, you can duplicate a course reading list from a previous semester.

1. Begin in the Canvas course site you want to copy content into.
2. Click Reading Lists from the course navigation menu. If this is not yet enabled, follow the directions above to enable this tool.
3. Choose Create list from an existing list by clicking Select existing list. 
4. Find the list you want to copy, and choose Duplicate list. This will create a new copy of the previously created list for the new course site. You’ll be asked, “Do you want sharable links to the original list to redirect to the duplicated list once it is published?” We generally advise the following: Choose No if the course you’re copying from is still active and will remain active for the entire term when the new course will run. Choose Yes if the course you’re copying from is no longer active.
5. Click Create List.
