# Duplicate a course

> Clone a proven course as a starting point for a new variant, then adapt only what differs.

> For teams building a family of similar courses - for example, per region or per partner tier - from a proven template.

Once you have a course that works, rebuilding a near-identical one from scratch is wasted effort. Duplicating lets you treat a proven course as a template: clone it, then tweak the parts that differ (a region's pricing, a tier's requirements, a localized example) while leaving the original untouched. It is the fastest way to keep a consistent structure across many courses.

## What you'll achieve

A copy of an existing course, including its modules, chapters, and content, that you can adapt without touching the original, then make available to a new audience.

## Before you start

<Steps>
  <Step title="Confirm access">
    You need a team role with write access to Courses. A duplicate counts against your course limit if the LMS module is not enabled.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Find the course to clone">
    On [Courses](https://app.introw.io/courses), find the course you want to use as a template and open its row menu. Pick the version that is closest to what the new course needs so you change as little as possible afterwards.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Duplicate it">
    Choose **Duplicate**. Introw copies the whole course - modules, chapters, and content - into a new course in **Draft** so the original stays live and unchanged. The copy is independent: edits to it never affect the source.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Adapt the copy">
    Open the new course and edit only what differs for this variant: rename it, swap the localized examples, adjust the passing score, or change the certificate. Leave the shared structure in place so the family of courses stays consistent.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Make it available to partners">
    Enroll a cohort by hand or turn on automatic enrollment to take the variant live. Like any course it stays **Draft** until its first enrollment or auto-enrollment is on, then automatically becomes **Active**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Verify it worked

A new draft course appears with the same module and chapter structure as the original, edits to the copy do not affect the source course, and once a partner is enrolled the copy becomes **Active**.
