# How do I send an assignment to another instructor?

As an instructor, you can share individual assignments in your course with other instructors at your institution. You can also [copy an individual assignment into another course](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-copy-an-assignment-to-another-course/ta-p/1116). When you share an assignment, any assets within that assignment (images, files, etc.) will be included in the shared file.

**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.
