Do you run the same workshop every month, organise the same festival every year, or put on a show over several evenings? Until now you rebuilt every edition from scratch: copying the description, creating the ticket types one by one, the prices, the capacity, the time slots, the confirmation email. Not anymore. Duplicate turns an existing event or course into a new version in one step.
How it works for an event
In your events overview, every event has a Duplicate action, including past events. On an event's detail page you'll find the same button next to Edit event.
Duplicate sits next to every event, including editions that are already over.
A window asks you two things:
- The name of the copy. If the name contains a year, it follows the date you pick: "Summer festival 2026" becomes "Summer festival 2027".
- The new start date and time. The +1 week, +1 month and +1 year buttons shift from the original in one click.
Name and start date, and you can see right away what's copied and what isn't.
Click Create copy and you land on the new event's page. At the top it says where it was copied from, with a link back to the original.
The copy is ready as a draft, with all ticket types and nothing sold.
One date, everything moves along
You only choose the new start. Every other date moves by the same amount: the end date, the days of a multi-day event, the time slots, the early-bird periods and the sales window. The clock time stays the same, even if there's a switch between summer and winter time in between. A workshop at 7 pm in September stays at 7 pm in November.
If a sales start would already be in the past after shifting, we leave it out. Sales then simply open as soon as you publish the event.
What comes along, and what doesn't
Everything you set up comes along:
| Copied | Not copied |
|---|---|
| Name, description, location and poster | Orders and tickets |
| Ticket types, prices and service fees | Visitors and the guest list |
| Capacity and capacity groups | The waiting list |
| Days and time slots | Discount codes |
| Attendee forms and FAQ | Sales figures and statistics |
| Email texts and the confirmation attachment | The paid publication and the preview link |
| Inspectors (if you tick the box) |
If you use a seating plan or the safety module, you can also bring along the seating (with prices per tier and blocked seats) and your gates, emergency numbers and documents. Sold and reserved seats always stay with the original. An access code for a held-back block doesn't come along either: whoever had last year's code can't use it to book the new edition.
A copy is always a draft. Nobody sees it until you publish it yourself.
Courses: a new group or a whole series
Courses work slightly differently, because a course is made up of groups and lessons.
Duplicating a group is the fastest way to a new intake. Open Groups & lessons, click the copy icon next to a group and pick the date of the first lesson. The new group gets the same price, the same number of places and the same lessons. Every lesson keeps its time: the Tuesday evening at 7:30 pm stays a Tuesday evening at 7:30 pm.
A new intake: pick the date of the first lesson and every lesson moves along.
Duplicating a course is done with the button on the course card. You choose: just the course (text, instructor, materials, image and forms), or the course with all its groups and lessons. In that case the earliest group starts on the date you pick, and the rest moves along. Enrolments, attendance and the waiting list never come along.
Afterwards: compare your editions
Do you run visitor feedback after your event? For a copied event, the feedback survey starts with the same questions as the previous edition. That lets you put this year's answers right next to last year's.
Who is this for?
Anyone who does the same thing more than once: the monthly workshop, the course that restarts every season, the show on four evenings, the festival that comes back every year. Set up your event properly once, then duplicate it. Haven't created an event yet? Start with creating your first event. For courses, courses and workshops with a series pass explains how groups and lessons work.
