Copy a VoiceThread
Making a copy of a VoiceThread allows you to make changes to a copy without affecting the original. Additionally, during the copy process, the copy can be renamed and student, instructor, and/or all comments can be stripped from the new copy, making it easy to reuse VoiceThread content without having to re-create it or manually manipulate comments. A copy of a VoiceThread can be made from the University of Arizona VT Home Page (opens in a new tab) or from inside the VoiceThread you wish to copy. To copy a VoiceThread using one of these two methods, follow the subsequent steps.
Note
To make a copy of a VoiceThread using the integration inside Brightspace, please see Step 3 of the Add VoiceThread Content to Brightspace help page in the Individual VoiceThread section.
