How to duplicate a session

Re-use an existing session's rows, timing, and assignees on another day of your event. Faster than rebuilding from scratch when Day 2 looks a lot like Day 1.

When you're producing a multi-day event, Day 2 usually looks a lot like Day 1: same general schedule, same intro music, same crew briefing, just different content blocks. Instead of rebuilding the whole thing, you can duplicate a session and use it as a starting point.

Steps

  1. Open the event

    Sign in at app.overture.show and open the event that contains the session you want to copy. You'll land on the event's Run of Show with a tab for each existing session across the top.

    The Run of Show open inside an event, with a row of session tabs across the top.
    Once an event is open, every session shows up as its own tab.

  2. Find the session tab

    At the top of the Run of Show, you'll see a tab for each session. Locate the one you want to duplicate.

    The session tab strip across the top of the Run of Show, with an arrow pointing at the tabs.
    The session tab strip runs across the top of the Run of Show.

  3. Open the session menu

    Right-click the session tab (or long-press on a touch device) to open its action menu, then choose Duplicate.

    The right-click menu on a session tab showing Rename, Duplicate, and Delete, with an arrow pointing to Duplicate.
    The action menu lets you rename, duplicate, or delete a session.

  4. Rename and reschedule

    A new tab appears named {Original} (COPY) — for example, duplicating Day 1 creates DAY 1 (COPY). Right-click the new tab and choose Rename to give it a meaningful name (e.g. "Day 2 — Opening"), then adjust the start time. All rows, assignees, and durations come along with the copy.

    A new DAY 1 (COPY) tab has appeared in the tab strip, with the action menu open and Rename highlighted.
    The duplicate appears as a new tab — rename it to fit your schedule.

Tip

Duplicating copies row content and assignees but does not copy completion state. The new session starts fresh with every row uncompleted — exactly what you want for Day 2.

Heads up

A duplicated session is independent of the original. Edits to one don't propagate to the other. If you need shared rows across sessions, use a row template instead.
