# How do I copy a module to another course?

As an instructor, you can copy a module in a course directly into any active course in which you are enrolled. You can also [send a module to other instructors at your institution](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-send-a-module-to-another-instructor/ta-p/398244) as well as [copy individual module items to other courses](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-copy-a-module-item-to-another-course/ta-p/398241). When you copy a module, any assets within that module (images, files, etc.) will be included in your module 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 to the same course more than once, the module you previously copied will be overwritten with the newly copied module.
