Duplicating a template plan is the fastest way to reuse an existing structure while making small adjustments. This is ideal when you want to keep the same tasks, layouts, and flow but change things like modes, durations, or placements.
⚠️ Important
You can only duplicate Master Templates.
Regular plans cannot be duplicated.
How to Duplicate a Master Template
Go to the Inactive tab.
This is where all your master templates are stored.
Find the master template you want to duplicate.
Click the three dots (⋯) next to the plan.
Select Duplicate.
Name your new template.
Give the duplicate a clear name to distinguish it from the original.
Your new master template is now ready.
All tasks, settings, and modes from the original are copied automatically, allowing you to edit the duplicate freely without affecting the original.
How To Load A Template
Click Create Plan.
Name your plan — this could be for an individual athlete or a group.
Save the plan as New Plan.
Choose your template from the list of saved templates.
Customize the plan as needed.
Assign the plan once ready.
Notes
Soma automatically duplicates the most recent version of your master template each time you load it. This allows you to edit freely without changing the original.
Templates cannot have users directly assigned. This is a safety feature that prevents linked plans from being overwritten if the master is edited.
To maintain your structure:
Master templates remain user-free by design.
When loaded, Soma creates a new copy that can be edited safely.
To update a master, go to My Plans → Inactive tab, find your template, and make edits there.
The next time you load the template, your latest changes will be included automatically.
