# Copying a challenge

Reuse a successful challenge setup by **copying** it from the challenge dashboard instead of creating from scratch.

**Path:** Challenge dashboard → **Copy** (modal form)

## What you can copy

The copy dialog lets you choose what carries over to the new challenge, typically including:

- Basic settings and dates (adjusted on save)
- Sports activity types
- Registration questions
- Images and branding
- Team configuration
- Step game tasks (when enabled)

Uncheck sections you want to rebuild manually.

## New challenge identity

The copy creates a **new unpublished challenge** with a fresh event code. Update name, dates, and public URL before publishing.

## Participants

Participant copy is **not** available to regular organizers — only platform superusers can optionally include participants when copying (for internal migrations).

## After copying

1. Open the new challenge dashboard
2. Walk through [Challenge settings walkthrough](challenge-settings-walkthrough.md)
3. Publish when ready — [Share your event (Easy Access)](share-your-event-easy-access.md)

## Competitions

There is no identical one-click copy on competitions — use [Create event wizard](create-event-wizard.md) or create a new competition and mirror settings manually.
