Requests

Duplicate a request

Copy a request as a new draft for the same client, with nothing uploaded.

Last updated · Facts checked

Select Duplicate on any request to copy it as a new draft for the same client, with the same checklist and nothing uploaded.

Steps

  1. Open the request you want to copy

    It can be a draft, an active, completed or cancelled request.

  2. Select Duplicate

    On completed and cancelled requests it's a button at the top of the page. On drafts and active requests, choose it from the ⋯ menu.

  3. Check the new draft

    You land on the copy, with "Copied as a new draft". Choose Edit draft to change the title, due date or checklist.

  4. Send it

    Select Send request when it's ready.

What's copied

  • The client.
  • The title and subtitle, unchanged. Rename it if the title includes a year or period.
  • The message to the client.
  • Who it's assigned to, and whether automatic reminders are on.
  • The checklist: categories, document names, descriptions, accepted file types, the file size limit and the order.
  • The due date, if it's still in the future.

What isn't copied

  • Uploaded files, review decisions and replacement requests: every document starts as not uploaded.
  • Client notes, reminders already sent and the activity history.
  • A due date that is today or has passed. Pick a new one before you send.
  • The request's own link. The copy gets a new one, which works once you send it. A copy of a request sent with its own link is sent with its own link too.
  • The PIN. If the request has one, the copy gets its own new PIN.

Good to know

  • Nothing goes to your client until you send the copy.
  • Drafts don't count towards your plan's active requests.
  • To send the same checklist to a different client, save it as a template instead.
