Duplicating projects

Overview

A duplicated study will keep all of your configured options intact, giving you a template to use again and quickly launch a similar study. For example, when launching the same study in several markets it is useful to use copies, keeping all variables the same but changing the country.

Duplications are useful for domains with lots of users too. Many people can configure studies using duplications to maintain standardization.

Before duplicating a project, it's best to ensure it's shared with the right members in your organization. Find out how in our article on sharing configurations.

How to duplicate a project

Start by navigating to the projects page by clicking ‘View all projects from the home page, or click your avatar  in the bottom right, then select ‘Organization Settings’, and ‘Projects’.

Use keywords to search for the project or use the filters.

Open the three dot menu on the project you'd like to duplicate, and select ‘Duplicate’. Zappi will create a new project that is a copy of the original, including uploaded images and videos. You can make any adjustments needed before launching your new project.

Custom Questions

One of the key advantages of duplicating studies is that Custom Questions are retained. Since these questions aren’t templated, they remain flexible, allowing you to tailor them to your unique business needs.

When a Custom Question is carried over from a duplicated project, it retains all of its attributes, making it easier to compare results across studies during reporting.

Editing duplicated custom questions

When you add a Custom Question to a project, or duplicate a project that already includes one, the system creates a reference to the original custom question so that all of it's settings are exactly the same. This is what allows us to easily analyze the results from these questions across multiple studies.

If you want to edit this new custom question, you can apply the edits to just this one question, or all other drafts of the same question, or even create a brand new question.

Duplicated studies will automatically include the following preferences:

• Country
• Audience preferences: gender, age, region
• Sample size
• Introduction: the introductory statement, whether a video or image is shown before the stimuli, what the stimuli are
• Optional questions: attributes, behavior change, unique and different, relevance, believability
• Custom questions
• Stimuli (if the option 'Duplicate' and not 'Duplicate without stimuli' is selected)
