10. Click on View Content or any other link in the navbar to see what’s been copied over.

NOTE: If the course copy process produced an error, stop and send an email to CON-InformationTechnology@osu.edu with the following information:

1. The course name and number in parentheses as it appears in Carmen that you are copying into (the new course).
2. The course name and number in parentheses as it appears in Carmen that are copying from (the old course).
3.  A screenshot of the error or the text of the error message you received.

Errors in course copying are sometimes caused by blank content modules or submodules in the old course from which you are copying, or they can be caused by content files that are “broken.”  Look for red exclamation marks in your Carmen Content items in the old course.  Removing those items may resolve the error encountered during the course copy process.
