# Copying Presets

Copying an existing preset is often the most efficient way to set up a new event. Instead of starting from scratch, you can duplicate a proven configuration and simply adjust the details.

#### How to Copy a Preset

There are two quick ways to duplicate a [preset](https://app.simplebooth.com/) from your dashboard:

**From the Preset List**&#x20;

* **Online**: Locate the preset you want to copy, click the **Actions** dropdown menu on the top right-hand side, and select **Copy**.
* **In app**: **swipe left** on a preset in your list, and select **Copy**.

**From Within a Preset**

* **Online**: If you already have a preset open, click the **Actions** button in the top-right corner and select **Copy**.
* **In app**: tap the **settings icon** on the top right-hand side, and select **Copy**.

After copying, the new preset will appear in your list with "Copy" added to the title. We recommend renaming it immediately via the **Actions** menu to keep your dashboard organized.

#### Linking to a New Gallery

When you copy a preset, the new version remains linked to the same gallery as the original. If your new event requires its own unique gallery, follow these steps to disconnect the old one and link a new one:

1. **Create a New Gallery**: Navigate to your **Galleries** page and click the button in the upper right corner to create a new gallery for your upcoming event.
   * Skip to step 2 if your gallery has already been created.&#x20;
2. **Return to the Preset**: Navigate to your **Presets** list and click into the newly copied preset.&#x20;
3. **Update the Gallery Link**: Find the connected Gallery within the Preset's **General Settings**
4. **Select the New Gallery**: Use the **Actions** dropdown menu and use the **Choose** option to select the new gallery you just created.
