Duplicate an event

Duplicate an event to reuse its setup and optionally move its schedule. You need permission to manage events in the organization.

Configure the copy​

  1. Open Events in the organizer workspace.
  2. Find the event, open its three-dot actions menu, and select Duplicate.
  3. Review New event name and Slug. The suggested name ends in (Copy), with a number for further copies. The slug follows name changes until you edit the slug yourself. Choose an unused slug.
  4. Choose which sections to retain: Descriptions, Branding, Event times, Seating & Pricing, Fees, Sales windows, and Settings & Policies. Copying event times requires seating and pricing.
  5. Select Next. If event times are turned off or none are available to copy, select Create Event instead.

Basic details, venue, and tax configuration are always retained. Turning off Fees uses the organization's inherited fees. Turning off Sales windows uses the normal defaults. Orders, tickets, holds, and collection membership stay with the original event.

Preview and adjust dates​

  1. Keep New event start date unchanged to retain the schedule, or enter a different date. Select Preview.
  2. Review every event time's original and proposed start and end, timezone, and publication state. Event times move by the same number of calendar days, keeping their local start times. Simultaneous sessions remain separate.
  3. Adjust any proposed start date or time as needed. The event time keeps its duration; an event time without an end remains without one.
  4. Resolve any flagged dates. During a daylight-saving change, a local time may not exist: choose another time. If a local time occurs twice, select First or Second, using the displayed offsets to distinguish them.
  5. Expand Sales windows to review effective opening and closing times. Fixed windows move with the dates; relative closing rules follow the new event time. Flagged fixed windows also need correction.
  6. Select Preview again after making changes. Changing the overall start date asks you to confirm before clearing your individual date overrides.
  7. Once the latest preview is valid, select Create Event.

For example, moving an October 8 start to October 22 shifts October 10 event times to October 24. It does not put every event time on October 22. Changing only an individual start's clock time leaves its fixed sales windows at their existing clock times. When event times are not copied, selected sales-window values are retained without shifting.

Review the draft​

The new event's editor opens after creation. The event is a draft; copied event times retain their published or unpublished setting. Review the setup before publishing the parent event. The original event is unchanged.

If the source event changes while you are reviewing the copy, select Reload source event and preview again. Your name, slug, and copy selections are retained; reloading asks before clearing date overrides. Other errors preserve your entries so you can correct them. Include the original event name and exact message when contacting support.

Follow the event setup guide to finish reviewing and publish when ready.
