  4. Click the sparkle button (✨) to duplicate the resource.

  5. Edit the new draft as needed and publish when ready.

What Happens When You Duplicate a Resource

When you duplicate a resource, a new draft is created with the following characteristics:

  • Content Fields: All content fields, including the body, embed codes, and tags, are copied over to the new resource.

  • Media and Attachments: Any cover images and PDF attachments are also duplicated. These are independent copies, meaning that deleting the duplicate will not affect the original files.

  • Access Levels: The access levels from the original resource are retained in the duplicate.

  • Draft Status: The new resource is created as a draft, allowing you to make changes before publishing.

Note: Videos hosted on video streaming services (like Mux) are not copied over during the duplication process.

Steps to Duplicate a Resource

  1. Access the Resource: Navigate to the Content Library and select Resources. Find and click on the resource you want to duplicate.

  2. Duplicate the Resource: Click the sparkle button (✨) located in the top right corner of the resource detail page.

  3. Edit the Duplicate: Once the duplicate is created, you can edit the title, content, and any other details as needed. Remember, the title will automatically have “(Copy)” appended to it.

  4. Publish the Duplicate: After making your changes, you can publish the new resource for your members to access.

Important Considerations

  • Independent Copies: The images and PDF files in the duplicated resource are independent. If you delete the duplicate, the original files remain intact.

  • Admin-Only Feature: Only admins can duplicate resources. This feature is not available to regular members.

  • Use Cases: This feature is particularly useful for creating similar content, such as guides or educational materials, without starting from scratch.
