Coursetune is a powerful, deep relational database and we want you to be able to reuse all that data across your systems. Coursetune's data can be exported for use in other projects, other systems, or for bringing back into Coursetune at a later date. While you are thinking about exporting individual courses, consider utilizing our API and LTI integrations to meet your needs in a more sustainable way. Meaning, so that you don't have to export every time.

Ask your Director of Education if you're interested in a discussion about integrating Coursetune into your systems and solutions. 

When you do need to pursue manual exports, here's what's available:

Level 4 Export

Level 4 Export

Step 1: As an editor or manager, you may want to keep an exported file of your course. To do this, start by navigating to the desired course (level-4 object), and click on the Reports and Data icon in the right panel.

Step 2: Under Export course as... choose the desired file format to generate.

Note: Unless you have reason to do otherwise, always choose the latest version for export.

If the Variations feature is turned on, editors and managers can export an individual course variation. Reimporting the file will turn it into a regular course.

If a course contains archives, you can export an individual archive. Upon re-import, the archive will become a regular course.

Level 3 Export

Level 3 Export

Step 1: As a program manager, you can export all the courses (level-4 objects) inside your program. First, you need to start at the desired program (level-3 folder), and click the Reports and Data icon in the right panel. Click on Export at the bottom of the panel.

Step 2: You can choose between generating a .json or .yml file. Make sure to save it to your device for importing later.
