# Copy a Coalition

Duplicate an existing coalition record, choosing which sections to carry forward.

Copy an existing coalition to quickly create a new record without re-entering the same details. When copying, you can choose which sections to bring forward from the original record.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**NOTE:** If the original coalition's reporting period has closed, the copy is created in the current reporting period. If that period is still open, the copy stays in it.
{% endhint %}

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Open the coalition to copy

Navigate to the coalition record you want to duplicate and click the **Copy** button.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Enter a new name

Provide a **Name** for the copied coalition. By default, the name is set to the original coalition name with "(Copied)" appended.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Select the sections to copy

Choose which sections to carry forward into the new coalition record. A section is only offered when the original record has data for it:

* **Collaborators** — Copy all collaborators from the original record.
* **Coalition Members** — Copy all members and their details.
* **Evaluation** — Copy the evaluation data, including relationship depth and assessment results.
* **Meetings & Events** — Copy all logged meetings and event details.

{% hint style="info" %}
**TIP:** Only **Coalition Members** is selected by default. Select any other sections you want to carry forward; you can always add or modify these sections after the copy is created.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Confirm the copy

Click **Copy** to create the new coalition record with the selected sections. The copied coalition will open so you can review and update it as needed.
{% endstep %}
