When planning a similar event, duplicating a previous one allows you to prefill the form with existing details, expediting the setup process.
An event can be duplicated under the following conditions:
- Your company has the Handshake Events package.
- You have the “Manage events” permission within your organization.
Handshake Events package is a part of our Premium offering. For more information, check out this resource!
Duplicate an event
1. Click Events from the left navigation bar, then select the event you want to duplicate from the table.
2. Click the More options menu (three dots) in the top right corner of the page, then select Duplicate event from the dropdown.
