About

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.

Before you begin

• Admins and Organizers may duplicate any type of session within the same event.
• Only admins may duplicate sessions to another event. Those session types include Interactive, Live webcast, and DIY live broadcast. 

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

Please note - When copying to another event, the duplicated session's Room settings will be copied from the target event, according to the selected custom or preset template.

• 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
• Media
