Article summary


The Share Projects feature creates a package of approved WIDS program/course content that can later be imported into another WIDS site. Only ACTIVE or FUTURE projects can be shared. WIP, pending approval and expired content within an approved project is not shared.

Information Shared

If you share a program and child courses the program assigned links are shared.  If you share a course without the parent program, no links are shared.  The following data is never shared:

  • Project history
  • Linked core abilities/general education outcomes
  • Course syllabi
  • Personal learning plans, PATs
  • Any documents in the My Documents screen
  • Any documents in the Project Management Documents screen

Note—once a project is shared there is no link between the original project and the copy.

How to Share a Project  

Click Edit.  Search for the project you want to share. You can share a program and all of the child courses or you can share an individual course. 

Remember—you can only share active projects and only approved content within the project will be shared. If a check exists in the WIP or Pending Items column, the project includes some  data that will not be shared.  To review the data, open the project and view the Manage Status screen under the Project Management tab.  Make sure all data you want to share is approved.

Click Share at the end of the project grid. 


WIDS opens a dialogue box.  Enter the email address for the person(s) who should receive the project package.  To send to more than one person, separate multiple email addresses with a comma.  Click Share.  WIDS will email the project to the person(s) you identified in a zip file.
