Duplicating a Topic

Complete the following process if you want to create a copy of an existing topic. When you duplicate a topic, all metadata values associated with that topic are duplicated. Assets included in the media container are not re-associated with the new topic.

n You cannot duplicate the Assignment Landing Zone topic.

To duplicate a topic:

1. Navigate to the Planner Explorer.

2. Right-click on a topic and select Duplicate Topic from the context menu.

   A confirmation window appears.

   n You cannot multi-select to duplicate two or more topics at the same time.

3. (optional) Enter a new name for the topic.

   The duplication window prefaces the Title with the word "Copy" by default.

4. Verify the position of the Assignments and Tasks toggle.

   • The default position (grey) does not automatically duplicate any assignments or tasks that are associated with the original topic.

   • You can click the toggle button to duplicate the associated assignments and tasks.

     When enabled, the toggle turns blue. New assignments or tasks that are created as part of this process are given the same name as the original, and are not prefaced with the word "copy".

5. Do one of the following;

   • Click the Duplicate button to create a copy of the topic.

     The app displays a notification message in the upper-right corner of the user interface. If desired, you can click the Open link in this message to access the duplicated topic. If the process fails for any reason, the app displays a notification about the error.

   • Press the Esc key, or click the Cancel button to abort the process.
