Overview

 

Profiles can be copied. Operationally speaking, it is another method to create a new profile having all the options filled in with the same settings as the original profile.

This action can be performed in the "Profile Management" page and in the intended profile's details page.

 

 

To Duplicate a Profile in the "Profile Management" Page

 

Step-by-step

 

1. In the Site Dashboard's "Control Panel", click Set Up Button and, then, Profiles button in the resulting row below.

 

Profile Management Pageb_SD

 

2. Select the profile to duplicate by checking the corresponding Check box.

 

Note

You can ONLY select 1 profile, if you want to access the Duplicate Header Button option.

 

3. Click Duplicate Header Button. This opens a details page of the profile copy set on edit mode. Its appearance/available options depend on the type of the copied profile:

The name of this copy is the same as the copied profile plus "_copy". We recommend you change it.
