Course Catalog: Copy discussions from course template – 2.16

Test/Stage: Thursday, 10 April 2025; Production: Thursday, 10 April 2025  
Impact: Managers 
Updated Help Topic: Create an Offering 
Idea Exchange ID: Not applicable

If managers create an offering with a template, discussions from that template are now copied by default unless the option chosen is Blank Course Ultra View. Previously, discussions were not copied. This change prevents managers from having to repetitively create discussions in their Course Catalog courses.

The template option Blank Course Ultra View does not copy any content. Discussions are not copied and no toggle switch appears.  

Managers

A Copy Template Discussions toggle appears when managers choose a template that is not blank. They can turn off the option to copy discussions.
