FAQ
Once I duplicate an item where does it go?
The duplicated item is placed within the same folder as the source item, maintaining your folder hierarchy and ensuring easy navigation for you and your team.
What happens to the structure and workflow?
Each duplicated item is generated from scratch, using a customizable structure that matches the template from the chosen revision. This guarantees that the new item retains the same organizational framework, specifically designed to meet the unique needs of your project.
The duplicate item will automatically be added to the first step of your project's default workflow.
What will happen to the components?
The structure of the new item will be identical to the structure of the revision, except for the components.
If you create a new item by duplicating a revision entry that includes a component(s), the components in the new item will be simplified. This means that the new item will still have the fields from the component, but they will no longer be connected to each other.
Will the original item's assignments and due dates be altered?
Assignments linked to the original item are copied to the duplicated item. This includes both individual assignments and assignments within a workflow. The responsibilities are preserved, so nothing gets lost in the duplication process.
The due dates assigned to the original item are automatically transferred to the duplicated version. This ensures that your timelines stay consistent and you don't miss any deadlines.
