# How do I copy a quiz to another course?

As an instructor, you can copy individual quizzes in one course directly into any active course in which you are enrolled. You can also [send quizzes to other instructors](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-send-a-quiz-to-another-instructor/ta-p/1081) at your institution. When you copy a quiz, any assets within that quiz (images, files, etc.) will be included in your quiz 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 quiz to the same course more than once, the quiz you previously copied will be overwritten with the newly copied quiz.
- By default, quiz copies will not include unbookmarked question banks. To ensure your question banks are included, you must [bookmark your question banks](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-bookmark-or-unbookmark-a-question-bank-in-a-course/ta-p/1231).
- Currently, this feature does not support copying quizzes with linked question banks. To copy a quiz with linked question banks, you must use the [Course Import tool](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-copy-content-from-another-Canvas-course-using-the/ta-p/1012) instead.
