The Space Request Application allows you to edit space requests after you have submitted them. This editing feature can be used for the following common scenarios:

• Updating the title of your course space
• Adding or removing rosters associated with your space
• Deleting a request (including duplicate requests)
• Students from two courses seeing the same course
• Students from Course A seeing the Canvas space for Course B (in this case, the rosters for A and B were likely both added to the request for B; you can use this procedure to remove the roster for A, then request a new space. Please see Canvas@Illinois , How to request a new space or check status of a request)
• Copying content from an old course into a newly-created course space (in this case, you will need to request another new space with the old course content imported.)  This page provides instructions on how to copy content from a previous semester's Canvas space into the new space
• NOTE: Instructors - please request one course space for EACH class roster you need. If you add multiple class rosters into one course space, students might see content from various courses they may not be enrolled in, causing confusion. Some course spaces may benefit from multiple rosters, but this is not common. The following KB article explains how to handle requesting multiple course spaces: Canvas@Illinois, Requesting Multiple Course Websites.
