Cloning a review cycle creates a new draft cycle using the settings of an existing one. When complete, a new draft cycle appears in your Review Cycles list ready for editing.
Before You Begin
- You must have Review admin permissions. Contact your account admin if you do not have this role.
Steps
- Go to Reviews in the left-hand navigation.
- Locate the review cycle you want to clone.
- Click ... to the right of that cycle.
- Select Clone review cycle from the dropdown menu.
- On the Edit Cycle page, update any settings as needed.
- Complete the remaining steps in the cycle setup widget to finalize the new cycle.
> Note: Cloning copies settings such as timelines, question sets, and participant groups. Review and update participants before launching — participant lists may be outdated.
Confirmation: A new draft review cycle named "Clone of [original cycle name]" appears in the Review Cycles list.
See Create a review cycle for full guidance on each setup step.
