Overview
Duplicating a video enables you to create an exact copy of an existing video, making it easier to reuse content without starting from scratch. Duplicating is especially useful when you want to make edits to a video while preserving the original content.
Key Points
Here are the key points to know about duplicating a video:
| 1. | The latest draft of the original video is duplicated in its entirety, including all media assets. |
| 2. | Analytics from the original video are not duplicated. |
| 3. | By default, the duplicated video is saved in the same location as the original video. If you would like, you can move the duplicated video to a different location. |
| 4. | For a personalized video: Before duplicating the video, you can choose whether to duplicate the associated data library as well or remove all personalization from the copy. |
