About Cloning Opportunities
Cloning allows you to copy an existing Opportunity instead of creating a new one from scratch. This can save time when you’re reusing most of the same details.
Cloning is especially helpful when:
The same Opportunity runs at multiple locations
You want to reuse an expired or inactive Opportunity
You need to keep the same details and shifts, but change the Duration Type
For example, switching from Flexible to Recurring Shifts
Cloning may not be the best option for every situation, but it works well when only minor updates are needed.
Clone an Opportunity
Go to Volunteerism > Opportunities.
Select the Opportunity you want to clone.
Scroll to the bottom of the Update Opportunity form.
Click Clone (next to the Deactivate button).
When prompted, click Yes to confirm.
You’ll be taken to the Create Opportunity page with a copy of the original Opportunity.
Review and Update the Cloned Opportunity
The cloned Opportunity includes most original details, such as:
Title (with “(copy)” added)
Description
Age limits
Skills, Qualifications, and other settings
Before publishing:
Update the Title
Remove “(copy)” and add details like the location
Example: Soup Kitchen Crew – N. Broadway
Review and update any other fields as needed
When finished, click Create Opportunity.
FAQ

Q. Why clone instead of changing the Duration Type?
A. Changing the Duration Type on an existing Opportunity can cause data issues. Cloning avoids those problems.
