Duplicating a 1-to-1 Template

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.

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.
