I'm really glad to have this feature added!
I just used it yesterday for the first time; I needed to copy four courses from an old team ID of mine to my go-forward team ID. Two courses were original files, and the other two were duplicates (created in Rise) of the originals.
The file copies received by my destination ID were similar to those created by my source ID, but there were some oddities. None of them were major for me to deal with, but they could have been significant if I was transferring the files to, say, a company that contracted me to do the work for them - the files wouldn't match what I built. See the attached PDF for screenshots.
Pages 1 and 2: The two original course files don't show their cover photos in the thumbnail view of my destination ID, but the cover photos do display properly when being previewed (or viewed as a user). The duplicates of the course files didn't have this problem.
Pages 3 and 5: The original course files were set to "Author Hidden" but the author isn't hidden for the copies received by my destination ID.
Pages 4 and 5: The original course files had custom labels applied but the copies received by my destination ID didn't retain those customizations.
I also discovered I couldn't use the Copy feature more than once for the same file to be sent to my destination ID. I accidentally deleted one of the received files in my destination ID. When I tried to Copy it again from my source ID, the normal pop-up message displayed to say the copy had been sent but my destination ID hasn't received a new email notification and a new Copy hasn't appeared in my destination ID's Rise workspace. Fortunately, I had also sent my duplicate copy of the file so I was able to work from that!
Keep up the great progress with Rise!

Hi Ian,
I have just experienced the same issues when copying a course to handover to a client. The client reports the Labels that I customised on my original version, did not copy over. Also, I had set the author to hidden, but this did not copy over.
Has there been a resolution to this issue?

Hi, Silvia... and Crystal. I just tested this again about 20 minutes ago, before I saw Crystal's response (as linked by Ashley). I confirm that the Hidden Author attribute assumes the default setting (i.e., it's not hidden) after the course copy is received by the second owner; also, the second owner now shows as the author. Glad to hear your client was able to re-hide this on their own.
The custom labels are trickier. As Crystal mentions (which I learned the hard way!), you have to be careful to click on "Create New" to assign a unique name for your label set. Otherwise, you'll end up changing all of your default label names, and (at least for me) every course created ever after will have the same custom labels applied. :)
I'm glad to hear there's a way to export my custom label set so the second owner can apply it. I'll try testing that over the next couple of days.
