Article summary

In WIDS you can copy your own syllabus, or you can copy a syllabus someone else has created.   

Tip: If you copy a previously created syllabus, the Instructor Information section will update.   However, other information from your Profile will not replace information in the copied syllabus.  Your My Profile information is only placed in new syllabi.  WIDS recommends creating a new syllabus if you want to use all the information in My Profile.
