Duplicating a Simulation

Duplicating makes a copy of a simulation, so you can create a new version, translate it into another language or use it as a template — without changing the original. Choose Duplicate in the card's More actions menu on the Simulations page.

How to duplicate a simulation

  1. On the Simulations page, click More actions (three lines) on the simulation's card.

  2. Click Duplicate.

  3. The copy is made in the background; you'll see "Duplicating…" while it works. When it's ready, the copy appears at the top of your list as "Copy of [original name]", with the status Private.

More actions menu with Duplicate highlighted

The More actions menu of a simulation card, opened with the three-lines icon (highlighted). The Duplicate item is highlighted, between Publish and Archive.

What is copied

  • Scenes, choices and the branching structure.

  • All texts, emotions and scores.

  • Characters, backgrounds, attachments, video and voice-over.

  • Translations, the design theme and the player settings.

  • Labels — only when you duplicate within the same account.

What is not copied

  • Scenes and choices you deleted.

  • Reviewers' comments.

  • Results and Insights — the copy starts with 0 plays.

  • Classes — the copy isn't added to any Class.

  • Links and exports — the copy gets its own new link and embed code.

When you can't duplicate

  • Archived simulations can't be duplicated. Re-activate the simulation first. See Archiving and Re-activating a Simulation.

  • Account limits: duplicating isn't possible if the copy would go over your account's limit for voice-over, video or attachment storage. If you reach the limit, contact BranchTrack support.
