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.

1. In the Video Library, locate the video that you want to duplicate.
2. Click the Options menu and then select Duplicate video according to the view that you are working in.

Duplicating a Video Without the Data Library

When you duplicate a video without the data library, all personalization is removed from the duplicated video. Following are examples of the main changes that will occur:

1. On the Video Page, it is indicated that the video is not personalized as the data library is no longer connected to the video.
