Detailed Instructions
Duplicating recipes is a straightforward process that helps you efficiently manage your content. Here’s how to do it:
Accessing the Recipe

Duplicating the Recipe

What Gets Duplicated
When you duplicate a recipe, the following elements are copied over to the new draft:
Ingredients: All ingredients from the original recipe.
Steps: The cooking steps are included.
Prep-Ahead Items: Any items that need to be prepared in advance.
Images: All associated images are copied.
Tags: Tags used in the original recipe are retained.
Access Levels: The same access levels are applied to the duplicated recipe.
Nutrition Calculation
After duplication, the nutrition information is automatically recalculated in the background. This ensures that any changes in ingredients or serving sizes are accurately reflected without you needing to do anything manually.
Finalizing the Duplicated Recipe
Edit as Needed: Open the duplicated recipe draft to make any necessary changes, such as updating the title or modifying ingredients.
Publish: Once you’re satisfied with the changes, you can publish the recipe for your members to see.
Tip: Duplicating recipes is a great way to create variations or seasonal updates without starting from scratch.
