Copying a campaign is a straightforward process and can be beneficial in various scenarios. Here's how to do it and why you might want to:
**How to Copy a Campaign:**
1. Navigate to the campaign you want to copy.
2. Click on "Actions."
3. Select "Copy."
**Reasons to Copy a Campaign:**
1. **Backup:** Creating a copy serves as a backup of your campaign. This ensures that your hard work is safeguarded in case of server malfunctions or accidental changes. Having a backup copy gives you peace of mind knowing that you can easily restore the campaign if needed.
2. **Repeating Successful Campaigns:** If you ran a successful campaign in the past and want to run it again with slight tweaks, copying the campaign is the ideal solution. It saves time and effort by retaining all the settings, design elements, and configurations, allowing you to make necessary adjustments for the current iteration.
**What Happens When You Copy a Campaign:**
- The copied campaign is an exact replica of the original, including settings, design, and configurations.
- However, all submissions and entries are cleared out, leaving you with a clean slate to start accepting fresh entries.
- You'll need to update any relevant information such as dates, year references, and any other specific details that may have changed since the original campaign.
By copying a campaign, you streamline the process of running repeat campaigns and ensure consistency in your branding and messaging. It's a practical strategy for both preserving your work and efficiently managing campaign iterations over time.
