To move materials from a sandbox archive course into a teaching course:

2. In the right menu, select Import Course Content.
3. Open the Select Content Type dropdown, and select Copy and Canvas Course. Don’t worry, you won’t copy the entire course.
4. Search for your sandbox course. Normally, this is named Your Name sandbox or Your Name Archive.
5. Under Content, choose Select Specific Content.
6. Click the button Add to Import Queue.
7. Your import will begin to process. You will see an indicator under Status, and once the import is complete, the Status will change to Completed.
8. Double check that the files transferred properly to your course by looking in your Files section of the course.

Create course-specific shared folders that contain only the files you’re actively using. Keep older or archived materials in separate, non-shared folders.

1. In Box online, select New.
2. Choose Folder.
3. Name the folder and click Create.

You can share an entire folder as well as individual files in Box.
