Copying an event duplicates the event structure (guest lists, custom fields, permissions and limits) into a new event without copying guest data. This is useful when you want to reuse an event setup without using templates.
To copy an event, you need the Admin permission on the event and on the venue you copy it to. Learn more about Permissions.
Steps to copy an event
- Go to Events (main menu) > your event > Settings > Copy
- Fill in the event details:
- Template (read-only, shown for an event based on a template) — the template the copy uses
- Name (optional) — if left empty, the copy takes the name of the original event's template or, for an event without a template, of the venue you copy it to
- Venue (required) — defaults to the venue of the event you are copying. Not shown for an event based on a template: its copy uses the template's venue
- Starts (required) — date and time
- Ends (required) — date and time
- Include permissions (checkbox, checked by default) — copy permissions and limits from the original event
- Select Copy
You're then taken to the new event.
Alternative: Using templates
For recurring events with the same structure, consider using Event templates instead. Templates automatically keep all events updated when you modify the template structure.
