# Copying Galleries

Duplicating a gallery allows you to carry over customizations from a previous event while still giving you a new gallery for a brand new event. 

**This is a good fit for:**

Users who prefer consistent settings across events, such as: 

* Color schemes
* Header images
* Ad configurations

***

#### How to Copy a Gallery

Galleries must be copied from your online dashboard; this action cannot be performed within the iPad app settings.

1. **Navigate to the** [**Gallery List**](https://app.simplebooth.com/galleries): View your list of existing galleries.
2. **Make the Copy**: Locate the gallery you want to copy, click the **Actions** dropdown menu on the top right-hand side, and select **Copy**.

The new gallery will appear in your list with "Copy" added to the title. We recommend renaming it immediately via the Actions menu to keep your events organized.

#### Pairing with a Preset

After copying a gallery, it is not automatically linked to any capture settings. To begin receiving photos from an event, you must pair it with a preset:

1. **Navigate to your** [**Presets page**](https://app.simplebooth.com/presets): Go to the Presets page in your dashboard.
2. **Select Your Preset**: Identify the preset you intend to use (or [create a new one](/virtual-booth-setup/basic-setup/create-a-preset.md)).
3. **Change Gallery**: Click the **Actions** dropdown menu for that preset and select **Change Gallery**.
4. **Link the New Gallery**: Choose your newly copied gallery from the list.
   * **Manage Existing Photos**: If the preset has already been used for an event, you will be prompted to decide whether to move existing pictures to the new gallery or leave them where they are.
5. **Save**: Confirm your changes to complete the pairing.
