# How do I import content from Blackboard 6/7/8/9 into Canvas?
You can import prior content from Blackboard 6/7/8/9 exports into Canvas.
## Open Settings
In the **Default Question bank** drop-down menu, select the Question bank you want to use for your question bank from Blackboard.
### Create Question Bank
If you do not have a question bank you want to use, you can [create a new question bank](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-create-a-question-bank-in-a-course/ta-p/1228). In the drop-down menu, select the **Create new question bank** option.
## Select Migration Content
To import all content from the course, click the **All Content** button \[1\].
If you want to [select specific content](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-select-specific-content-as-part-of-a-course-import/ta-p/1091), click the **Select specific content** button \[2\].
**Note:** If you select the specific content option, you are required to select the content you want to import after you review the remaining page options. After you start importing the content, the import selection cannot be canceled.
## Overwrite Assessment Content
To overwrite the assessment content with matching IDs, click the **Overwrite assessment content with match IDs** checkbox.
Some systems recycle their IDs for each new export. Therefore, if you export two separate question banks they will have the same IDs. To prevent losing assessment data Canvas treats the question banks as separate objects despite the IDs. Choosing this option will disable this safety feature and allow assessment data to overwrite existing data with the same IDs.
## Adjust Events and Due Dates
If you want to [adjust the due dates](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-adjust-events-and-due-dates-in-a-course-import/ta-p/1090) associated with the course events and assignments, click the **Adjust events and due dates** checkbox.
## View Content Import Warning Message
When importing content, a message displays explaining that importing the same course content or export package more than once overwrites any existing content in the course.
## Import Course
Click the **Add to Import Queue** button**.**

The Content imports section displays the status of your import. Running reports display a progress bar \[1\].
If you chose to select specific content in your course, the current job will show as Waiting for selection \[2\], which means you must [select the content you want to import](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-select-specific-content-as-part-of-a-course-import/ta-p/1091).
The import may also display other status indicators as part of the import process. Learn more about [course import statuses](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-view-the-status-of-current-and-prior-course-imports/ta-p/1077).
