About
You may duplicate any type of existing session within your event. Duplicating sessions helps you work faster and stay consistent. Instead of recreating sessions, settings, and structure from scratch, you can duplicate an existing session and reuse what already works - saving time and reducing the chance of errors. This is especially useful for recurring events or event series, allowing you to focus on refining content and engaging your audience rather than repeating setup tasks.
This article pertains only to multi-session events.
Session duplication: What’s copied and what’s not
Depending on the session type, data duplicated includes:
- Title
- Description
- Thumbnail
- Tags
- Speakers (optional)
- Moderators (optional)
- Attachments
- Room setup including storyboard and assets
- Interaction drafts including surveys, polls, and quizzes
- Announcements pertaining to a targeted session
Data not duplicated includes:
- Captions orders (for live captions, for example)
- AI Assistant
- Certification
- Schedule date/time
- Session recording
- RSVPed attendees
- Chat history
- Custom metadata
- Assigned live resources
Please note - When duplicating a pre-recorded session, the new session uses the same video source. If your session includes a video source, make sure the upload is complete before duplicating the session. Duplicating a session while a video is still uploading will cause the upload to fail in both the original session and the duplicated session.
