# How do I duplicate a module item?

You can duplicate assignments, graded discussions, and pages within a [module](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Publisher-Test-Nathan/What-are-Modules/ta-p/644763). When a module item is copied, the word *Copy* is added to the end of the item name.

Duplicating a module item defaults the copied item to an unpublished status. [Assignment duplication](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-duplicate-an-assignment/ta-p/636), [page duplication](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-duplicate-a-page-in-a-course/ta-p/630), and [discussion duplication](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-duplicate-a-discussion-in-a-course/ta-p/756) are currently supported in modules. Please note the exceptions associated with each item type.

Items duplicated in the Modules page follow the same behavior as a new item created in a module. The item displays in the Modules page but is also visible in the item's respective index page.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-external-links%2C-quiz"><div>- External links, quizzes, headers, and files cannot be duplicated individually. However, they can be duplicated as part of [duplicating an entire module](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-duplicate-a-module/ta-p/676).
- Quizzes created using the classic Canvas quiz tool cannot be duplicated.
