Importing Annoto course data (Preferences, Comments and Interactions)

Resolution

• You select whether to import Annoto preferences, instructor comments (not student comments), and/or Annoto quizzes. 
• This feature adds all Annoto data from one course into the Annoto Dashboard of the new course. It does not publish or embed the videos into the new course. If the video is not published or embedded in the course students will not see it.
  • You'll need to import the videos from another Media Gallery or copy embedded videos via a Canvas course copy.
• Caution: importing may included videos you don't own including student submissions. For example, if you used Annoto comments on student submissions to provide private feedback and elect to import comments, any student submissions that have instructor comments will have those comments imported into the new course. As of now there is now way to remove unwanted videos from appearing in the Hub. However, just because a video appears in the Hub, doesn't mean you or students can access it. The videos must be published or embedded in the course to be viewed. Student video submissions never get copied over during a Canvas course copy.
• See the Annoto Duplicate Course Data article for instructions.
