How To Copy a Lesson

  2. Click on a lesson that you would like to copy.

  3. Click on "Copy" in the pop-up.

  4. The "Add Lesson" form will open up with the same settings as the original lesson and you can adjust any of the fields as required.

  5. Submit the form to save your changes.

Handling Repeating Lessons

If you are copying a lesson that was part of a repeating series:

  1. Click on the Repeat box in the "Add Lesson" form.

  2. The Repeat Settings window will open, pre-filled with the original recurrence pattern.

Troubleshooting: Why is the "Copy" button missing?

Even if the feature is enabled, the Copy button will not appear in the following scenarios:

  • Locked Lessons: Lessons that are locked cannot be copied.

  • Requested Lessons: You cannot copy a lesson that is still in "Requested" status; it must be approved first.

  • Permissions: Ensure your account has the permissions required to add new lessons.
