Can you reset my course for me?
DEV Course
If you need to reset your Development Shell (DEV course) you can do that from the settings tab. View the Canvas guide for instructions on how to reset your DEV course.
Active Course
However, we cannot reset "active" courses (courses with student enrollments). You will not see the reset option in the settings menu of active courses, only DEV courses.
We do have a tool that can help you remove all of the unwanted course content that you inadvertantly copied into your course - this tool is TidyUp.
To enable TidyUp in your course:
- Go to Settings
- Select Navigation
- Locate TidyUP on the menu
- select the 3 verticle dots
- Choose Enable
- Select Save
Once TidyUp is available on your course menu (don't worry, students can't see the option -even when your course is published - so you can leave it enabled) - select it. You will need to authorize the tool, and then scan your course. You will be presented with a list of course content that you can delete (files, folders, and Canvas Content). You can select all the content by clicking on the box next to the Name (or title) header, and then choose Delete Selected.
You can review the full TidyUp User Guide online. And if you want additional assistance, you can schedule a virtual appointment with an instructional design specailist who can walk through the process with you.
