# How do I copy a module item to another course?

As an instructor, you can copy a module item in a course directly into another course in which you are enrolled. You can also [send a module item to other instructors at your institution](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-send-a-module-item-to-another-instructor/ta-p/398243) as well as [copy an entire course module into another course](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-copy-a-module-to-another-course/ta-p/398242). When you copy a module item, any assets within that module item (images, files, etc.) will be included in your module item copy.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-to-share-course-cont"><div>- To share course content, you must have the Course Content - add / edit / delete permission enabled.
- Shared content does not count against course or user quotas.
- If you copy the same module item to the same course more than once, the module item you previously copied will be overwritten with the newly copied module item.
