Before copying a course, you must delete the template in the new course to prevent duplicates. Be aware that there might have been changes in the template pages. So when you copy the template pages from last years course you might not have the most up-to-date template pages.

Select the pages you want to remove. In order to remove the front page click on the three dots after UM - template page.

Delete all modules except for teachers only. To delete a module click on the three dots. When you didn't create or add any content yet to the course, you won't have a lots of content or modules here.

Now you can copy (parts of) your old course to this new course.
