# What happens when an admin shares a course with another admin?

Sharing a course grants the receiving admin the **right to manage and edit** the course content.

**Changes to the course**

Any changes made to the course contents by any admin **will affect that course at all levels of the organization**.  So:

* If you want to share a course and prevent changes to your content = duplicate your course and share only the copy.
* If you want to tweak a course that was shared with you but you do not want to alter the original = maybe think about duplicating it and making the changes on the duplicate (a course duplicate is completely independent).

 

**Practical Tip** to avoid leaving “dummy courses”

If you want to share a course but don’t want modifications made by the receiving admin to affect your original course, follow these steps:

1. Duplicate the course.
2. Share the duplicate with the receiving admin.
3. The receiving admin can then make a copy of the duplicate and edit it.
4. Both admins can delete the initial duplicate (the one shared), since it serves no further purpose.

Result: This process creates two separate, unconnected courses.
