    Hi Deborah,

    Use Block Templates to copy a block from one course to another.

    Create a new block template in the course that has the content to be copied.

    Once that has been done, go to the other course and insert the newly create block template.

    Hi Deborah,

    Bock templates are copies of the original block that was used to create the template.

    There is no connection between the original block and the templates.

    If the original block is edited, all copies need to be changed manually.
