Making a copy of your project

If allowed by the project owner, users have the ability to make a copy of any project in which they are a collaborator. The collaborator who duplicates the project will become the sole owner of the duplication and all the layers within. Project settings, layer information, and all cues and notes will be duplicated. Collaborators and project history will not be duplicated.

Users can duplicate the project from either the dashboard or the Project Settings menu. On the dashboard, the duplication icon is located at the bottom of each individual project thumbnail. In the Project Settings menu, the duplication button is located at the bottom. If you do not see the option to duplicate a project, it is because the owner has turned off the duplication option.

Locking duplication

The owner of any project can prevent a project from being duplicated by turning on the duplication lock. This lock is available at the bottom of the Project Settings menu. If the project duplication lock is turned on, then only the owner can duplicate the project, and all other users won’t be able to see the duplication options.

Duplicating legacy projects

Collaborators also have the ability to duplicate legacy projects (as a reminder, legacy projects are any project created before our version 2 update and use the original Cuelist software). A duplication of a legacy project will automatically load as an updated project with all the latest features. Because the feature set from our legacy version to the updated software is not exactly the same, it is possible that there could be errors during the duplication process. Please double-check all annotations on your new project to confirm their accuracy and completeness.

The original version of the project will not be altered during this process and will still be available for use after duplication.
