How to Duplicate a Module or Course

Learn how duplicating a Module or Course lets you reuse training you've already built, so you don't have to start from scratch.

Written by Ben Brunken

Duplicate an existing Module or Course, then tweak the copy instead of rebuilding from scratch.

How to Duplicate a Module or Course

Duplicate from the Library, or from inside the Module or Course itself.

From the Library

  1. Hover over the title in your Library.

  2. Click the three-dot menu (•••) to the right.

  3. Select Duplicate from the dropdown.

Module Duplication Options

When you duplicate a Module, you choose how its contents come along:

The Duplicate Module dialog

  • Duplicate module structure and reuse courses, check-ins, and resources: copies the Module's structure and reuses the same Courses, Resources, and Check-ins inside it.

  • Duplicate module structure and make a copy of all courses, check-ins and resources: copies the structure and creates brand-new copies of everything inside.

⚠️ Reused content is shared: With the reuse option, the duplicate shares the same inner content as the original, so editing it also changes the original everywhere it's used. Choose the copy option if you want a fully independent copy.


FAQ

Will editing a duplicate affect the original?

Only if you chose Duplicate module structure and reuse courses, check-ins, and resources, which shares the inner content.

Pick Duplicate module structure and make a copy of all courses, check-ins and resources for a copy you can edit independently.

Can I duplicate a Course too?

Yes. Duplicate a Course the same way. The reuse-or-copy options only apply when duplicating Modules.

Why don't I see Duplicate?

Your Role needs the Create Content permission. Inside a Module or Course, the … menu also only shows Duplicate module or Duplicate course if you can edit it. Ask its creator or an Admin to add you as a collaborator with Edit access.
