Why: Save time when creating similar meal plans by duplicating existing ones. This feature allows you to quickly replicate meal plans, including all related content, making it easier to manage and customize your offerings for your subscribers.

Navigate: App Station > Content Library > Meal Plans > [Meal Plan] > Duplicate

Quick Start

  1. Go to the Content Library in your App Station.

  2. Click on Meal Plans.

  3. Select the meal plan you want to duplicate.

  4. Click the Duplicate button in the actions menu.

  5. Confirm the duplication to create a new draft meal plan.


Detailed Instructions

What Happens When You Duplicate a Meal Plan

When you duplicate a meal plan, you create a complete copy that includes all related data. This means that the new meal plan will have:

  • The same title, summary, and notes as the original (the title will default to "Original (Copy)").

  • All meal plan settings, including dates and layout configurations.

  • All associated sessions, prep tasks, tags, and access levels.

  • Media images will be copied, but videos will not be included.

Who Can Duplicate Meal Plans

  • Admins: You can always duplicate meal plans, and the new copy will be an unpublished draft.

  • Members: If you have the canModifyMealPlans permission, you can create a personal copy of a meal plan. If you do not have this permission, you will not be able to duplicate meal plans.

Steps to Duplicate a Meal Plan

  1. Access the Content Library: Start by navigating to the Content Library in your App Station.

  2. Select Meal Plans: Click on Meal Plans to view all your existing meal plans.

  3. Choose a Meal Plan: Find the meal plan you want to duplicate and click on it to open the details.

  4. Duplicate the Meal Plan: In the actions menu (✨ button), click on Duplicate. This will create a new draft meal plan with all the original content.

  5. Edit the New Meal Plan: Once duplicated, you can edit the new meal plan as needed before publishing it.

Important Notes

  • The duplicated meal plan will be saved as a draft and will not be visible to your members until you publish it.

  • If you need to change the title of the duplicated meal plan, you can do so during the duplication process.

Tip: Consider using the duplication feature to create variations of popular meal plans, making it easier to cater to different dietary preferences or seasonal themes.
