[DECISION 2/15/23 - We will keep both the duplicate and the copy as independent features for now, due to nuanced differences in their scope, ie duplicate only works within a course, and copy works across courses, and duplicate allows authors to interact immediately with the duplicated content. Additionally, duplicate is a well-used function and one we don’t want to remove from current authoring flows. The concern about confusion is addressed with the UI decision to build a dropdown menu that allows both functions to coexist.] Note: The overlap between Copy and Duplicate is likely to confuse users. It’s possible that we could also replace the Duplicate functionality with this.
Authors are alerted that their copy is in progress, and when their copy is complete, with a toast notificationnotifications.
