Copying RSVP Forms

Why build a form from scratch when you already have one that is almost perfect? The Copy feature lets you duplicate an existing RSVP form and then modify it for a different event, audience, or purpose.

Why copy a form?

Scenario	Benefit of copying
You have a great registration form from last year's conference	Use it as a starting point for this year's event
You want to create a VIP version of your standard RSVP form	Copy and modify the fields instead of starting over
You manage multiple events with similar registration needs	Create a master form and copy it for each event
You want to experiment with a new design without losing the original	Copy the form and test changes on the duplicate

How to copy an RSVP form

Go to Manage Templates → RSVP Forms.
Find the form you want to copy from your list of existing forms.
Click the Copy or Duplicate icon (two overlapping squares.
A new form will appear with a name like "[Original Form Name] Copy."
Click on the copied form to edit it.
Change the Form Name to something descriptive (e.g., "2030 Conference Registration").
Update the guest list in the form settings if needed (new responses will go to the selected list).
Update the form URL slug if desired (e.g., conference-2030).
Make any necessary changes to the form fields or settings.
Click Save.

Your copied form is now ready to use independently of the original.

What gets copied vs. what you need to update

Element	Copied?	Need to update?
Form Name	✅ Yes (plus "Copy")	Yes – rename to avoid confusion
Form fields and layout	✅ Yes	Probably not – unless you need different questions
Form settings (confirmation message on success page, etc.)	✅ Yes	Probably – event details may differ
Guest List link	✅ Yes	Yes – point it to the correct guest list for the new event
Form URL slug	✅ Yes	Yes – choose a new unique slug
Public / Private setting	✅ Yes	Probably not – unless access needs change

Important notes

Copying a form does not affect the original. You can edit the copy freely without changing the source form.
Copied forms start with no submission history. They are fresh forms ready for new responses.
You can copy forms across events. If you have a form saved in one event, go into the new event and use the copy function on top to access forms from previous events you are the admin of.
Remember to update the guest list in the form settings – otherwise, new responses will go to the current event's first guest list by default.

Pro tips

Build a library of master forms. Create templates for common form types (Registration, Waitlist, Feedback) and copy them whenever you start a new event.
Use descriptive names. "Conference VIP Registration – Standard" is better than "Form 3."
Test the copied form. Before sharing the link, submit a test response to ensure everything works as expected.
Delete old copies. If you copy a form and no longer need the original, archive and delete it to keep your form list clean.
