# Import course content

It is possible to import content from another course in the system into your course, or even import the entire course.

To import content from another course on the same site, follow these steps:

1. From the **Course administration** block select **Import**.
2. Next you will need to **Select a course** to import (either from the list presented or by searching for the course you want to use).
3. You can then configure the back-up settings by choosing whether to include:
  - Activities and resources
  - Blocks
  - Filters
  - Reminders
  - Calendar events
  - Question bank
  - Groups and groupings
4. If you are happy with this you can **Jump to final step** or you can click **Next** to configure which activities and resources are imported.
5. Tick and untick the content you wish to import into your course.
6. Click **Next** and then review your selections.
7. Confirm you are happy by clicking **Perform import** (or you can click **Previous** to go back and make changes).

You can also import content by [restoring a course backup](/19/docs/restore-a-course-from-a-backup) file (either exported from another course on your site or from another Totara Learn site).
