Environment

Issue

When copying a Canvas course the redirect URL does not update to point to content in the new course. These links need to be updated for students to be able to access current course content.

Resolution

Teachers, TAs, and Designers can edit a redirect URL:

1. Navigate to the course
2. Click Settings from the left-hand course navigation
3. Click the Apps tab
4. Click View App Configurations
5. Find the name of the redirect URL from the list
6. Click the gear icon > Edit
7. Make any necessary changes and click Submit
   1. Often it is just a matter of changing the course ID from the previous course to the current course.
