How to Duplicate an Event

Instead of starting a new event, you can simply duplicate an existing one to transfer all the details.

This feature streamlines the event creation process, saving you both time and effort, especially if you regularly host similar, recurring events.

An event can be duplicated under the following conditions:

The company's account has the Handshake Events package.
The individual user has the "Manage events" permission within their organization.

Handshake Events package is a part of our Premium offering. For more information, check out this resource!

1. Click Events from the left navigation bar, then select the event you want to duplicate from the table.

2. Click the gray button Duplicate event on the event overview page.

3. A new event form will open in a new tab, with certain fields prefilled based on the original event.

Note: some of the fields are not transferred over, therefore you'll need to manually update them.

The following fields will need to be reviewed/updated:

Title: the duplicated event will have "Copy of" added to the front of the original event title. You can edit this as needed.
Date and Time: start date, end date, and time zone fields are left blank to ensure you input the updated details.
External Links: fields such as external video link and external registration link are left blank to ensure the updated links are included.

The remaining fields are copied exactly as they appeared in the original event:

Event categories
Contact and contact message preferences
Event location preferences
- On-Campus
  - School host and Career center (if filled out)
- Off-Campus
Handshake video preference including option to record
Registration limit
Invited Schools

4. After the event form is edited and reviewed, click the blue button Save in the lower-right corner of the page to duplicate the event.
