== Saving old Schoology course in order to reuse some of the material next year ==
 
This page will help you save your current, or archived, Schoology courses to your Personal Resources, and will also teach you how to keep your Resources organized using Collections and Folders.
== Why should I do this? ==
In many cases, course resources can be re-used from year-to-year, and Schoology has a easy, organized way to do just that. To copy course content from one course into another (ex. for a new school year), you first need to archive it and then restore it. Saving a course to '''''My Resources''''' (archiving it) makes a snapshot of all the assignments, quizzes, discussions, pages, and resources in a particular course and allows you to import that content to other Schoology courses you might be creating.
 
The general process is as follows:
 
# Setup a new '''''Collection''''' to keep your resources organized
# Save your old course materials to '''''My Resources'''''
# Edit your course materials from '''''My Resources''''' if needed
# Add Material from '''''My Resources''''' into your new Schoology courses


== Step 1 - Setup a new Collection to keep your Resources Organized  ==

There is a Gear Icon to the right of every resource. The Gear Icon allows you to Edit, Move, Copy, or Delete a resource.


== Step 2 - Save Course Materials to Resources ==
#'''''Edit'''''—This option allows you to change the title of your resource, as well as to add notes that will only appear in your Resources.
a) Go to your course’s home page.  
#'''''Copy to'''''—This option allows you to "copy and paste" the resource into another location in your Resources.
#'''''Move to'''''—This option allows you to "cut and paste" the resource into another location in your Resources.
#'''''Delete'''''—This option allows you to delete the resource from your Resources. This action cannot be undone.


Note: If the grading period has ended, you can access an archived course by following these steps:
== Step 4 - Adding Material from Resources into your new (2022-2023) Courses ==
# Click Courses in the top menu.
First, navigate to your new course. (Note, 2021-2022 Courses won't be available until end of August 2021.) Then follow these directions to add old course material:
# Select See All in the bottom-right corner.
# Select Archived to see a complete list of archived courses sorted by grading period.
b) Click Options, and Select Save Course to Resources.
