Duplicating a previous event prefills a new event form with existing details, which expedites setup when planning a similar event.
Who can duplicate an event?
An event can be duplicated under the following conditions:
- Your company has the Handshake Events package.

The Handshake Events package is part of the Premium offering. For more information, check out this resource.
