# How do I send an announcement to another instructor?

As an instructor, you can share individual announcements in your course with other instructors at your institution. You can also [copy an individual announcement into another course](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-copy-an-announcement-to-another-course/ta-p/888).

When you share an announcement, any assets within that announcement (images, files, etc.) will be included in the shared file. Announcement settings, including delay posting dates, are also included in the shared announcement.

**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.
- You can use the Send to feature to send course content to yourself.
