{bgcolor:E6E6FA} h3. Importing Class Content from a Previous Stellar Website {bgcolor}
For each semester that you teach a class, you need a new class website. However, rather than re-creating the class content, you can import it from a prior class's website. You can import topics, documents, and/or assignments from the entire class or just a section.
{info:title=You can import information from more than one class. For example, first import some topics from class A, then repeat the procedure to import topics from class B.}

# Do one of the following:
#* Click Materials in the navigation bar. Then click the import content from another class website link.
#* Display the Homepage. Click the Website Settings link at the bottom of the navigation bar. Then click the Import Content link.
# Select the class or section from which you want to import content.
# Click the Submit button. The Import page now lists all the information that you can import from the selected class or section.
# (Optional) Click the From link to display the class from which you are importing content in another browser window.
# Select a destination for the imported documents (document = any content you import). Choose to:
#* Select this option to copy the content into corresponding Course Topics where Stellar will create new Topic headings, if required.
#* Select this option to copy the content into an existing Course Topic that you select from corresponding drop-down list.
#* Select this option to copy the content into a new Course Topic where you enter the new Topic name into the corresponding text field.
# Select the documents to copy.
