Duplicating a 1-to-1 Template
Overview
Duplicating a 1-to-1 template allows you to create a copy of an existing template, saving time when you need a similar structure for a new purpose. This is particularly useful when adapting templates for different teams, departments, or check-in types without starting from scratch.
Whether you want to reuse question sets or create a variation of an existing workflow, duplication gives you a head start.
Functionality Breakdown
When you duplicate a template, the following elements are copied:
Element | Copied? |
|---|---|
Template name | ✅ Yes (with "Copy of" prefix) |
Description | ✅ Yes |
Template image | ✅ Yes |
Activity data settings | ✅ Yes |
Question sets | ✅ Configurable (see below) |
Visibility settings | ✅ Yes |
Existing cycles | ❌ No |
Issued 1-to-1s | ❌ No |
Question Set Options
When duplicating, you can choose how to handle question sets:
Option | Effect |
|---|---|
Duplicate question sets | Creates copies of the question sets (editable independently) |
Link to existing | Uses the same question sets (changes affect both templates) |

FAQs
Q: Can I duplicate an archived template?
Yes—archived templates can be duplicated. The duplicate is created in an active (non-archived) state.
Q: What happens to cycles when I duplicate?
Cycles are not copied. You'll need to create new cycles for the duplicated template.
Q: Can I undo a duplication?
You can delete the duplicated template if you no longer need it.
Q: Will changes to the original affect my duplicate?
Only if you chose to link to existing question sets. Template settings are independent.
