# Duplicate a Calendar Pro to another channel

Need the same events in more than one place? You can duplicate an existing Calendar Pro into another Microsoft Teams channel, so a new calendar starts life with a full copy of the original events.

Calendar cloning is available on every plan, including Free.

# Duplicate a calendar

  1. 1

    Create a new Calendar Pro tab in the target channel.

  2. 2

    Name your calendar when Calendar Pro prompts you with Welcome to Calendar Pro.

  3. 3

    Turn on Clone from an existing Calendar Pro.

  4. 4

    In Select a calendar to copy, choose the calendar you want to duplicate.

  5. 5

    Click Save.

    Calendar Pro imports the events and emails you when the copy is complete.

The import takes a few minutes depending on how many events are copied. You receive an email once every event has been imported.
This is a one-time copy, not a synchronization. Only events that exist before the copy are imported, and events created afterward are not carried over. To keep two calendars in step automatically, use calendar synchronization instead.

# Troubleshoot a failed duplication

If the duplication does not finish, or you get an email saying something went wrong, work through these steps.

  1. 1

    Retry the duplication. If possible, duplicate into a different channel.

  2. 2

    If the error email persists, contact us through the chatbot and have your Calendar ID and the email tied to the subscription ready.

# Common questions

# Will events added after duplication appear in the copy?

No. Duplication is a one-time import. Events created after the duplication are not synced automatically. To bring newer events across, run the duplication again.

# Can I duplicate the same calendar into multiple channels?

Yes. You can create several duplicates in different channels. Each duplicate is independent, so updates in one do not affect the others.

# Does duplicating a calendar also copy permissions and settings?

No. Only the events are copied. You need to set up permissions, tags, and calendar settings again in the duplicated calendar.

# If I delete events in the original, do they disappear in the duplicate?

No. Once duplicated, the calendars are independent. Events you delete in the original do not affect the duplicate.
