# Duplicate the Event Type

> Make an exact copy of an existing Cal ID event type to save time, keep settings consistent, and quickly launch variations for different meetings.

The **Duplicate** feature makes an exact copy of an event type you already set up, so you can launch variations without rebuilding everything from scratch.

## Why use it?

* **Save time:** If you have a 30-minute meeting with perfect "Booking Questions" and "Reminders," you don't have to type them all again for a 60-minute version. Just copy it!
* **Stay consistent:** It copies everything (like your availability and reminders) so you don't forget any important details.
* **Create a template:** You can make one "perfect" meeting and just copy it whenever you need a new one.
