- Alternatively, when trying to copy or move an item to a different list, the module you want might not be in the drop-down menu.
There are a number of possible explanations:
(a) A list has not been created for the other module yet.
(b) A list has been created for the other module but it is not in your My Lists.
(c) You are not an instructor or collaborator on the other list (you can only edit or add material if you are an instructor or collaborator).
- If you are a teacher on the other module, go to the Canvas module and click Reading List.
- If a reading list exists, click List info on the banner at the top to check the reading list instructor and askto be added as a collaborator.
- Alternatively, contact the Library.
- You may still have to add the list to your My favorites (see above).
