Duplicate Tasks & Events

Duplicate Tasks & Events lets you quickly create copies of existing items, saving time when working with recurring or similar tasks and meetings. Duplication preserves all details while letting you adjust what needs to change.

🤔 How Duplicate works

With Duplicate Tasks & Events, you can:

• Create an exact copy of any task with the same content

• Duplicate events and prefill calendar details

• Adjust dates, participants, or other properties before saving

• Use keyboard shortcuts for faster duplication

• Save time on recurring or similar work items

• Preserve all original details (labels, priorities, descriptions, etc.)

Duplication works for both personal tasks and calendar events.

🤚 Why duplicate tasks & events

Creating similar items from scratch is repetitive. Duplicate Tasks & Events:

• Eliminates manual retyping for recurring work

• Preserves all details (labels, priorities, descriptions) automatically

• Lets you adjust only what's different (dates, participants) before saving

• Reduces errors when creating similar items

• Speeds up workflow for repetitive patterns (weekly meetings, recurring tasks)

This is especially valuable for team members and recurring workflows where most details stay the same.

🎙️ How to duplicate tasks & events

Duplicating tasks:

1. Open any task

2. Click the Duplicate action (usually in the menu or actions bar)

3. Routine creates a copy with the same content

4. The duplicated task appears in your inbox ready to plan

5. Adjust labels, priorities, or dates as needed

6. Use keyboard shortcuts for faster duplication

Duplicating events:

1. Open any event from your calendar

2. Click the Duplicate action

3. Routine opens the calendar with all event details prefilled (title, duration, participants, etc.)

4. Adjust the date, time, or participants as needed

5. Save to create the new event

Events can be duplicated to the same date or rescheduled before saving.

📑 Use cases

Duplicate Tasks & Events are especially useful for:

• Weekly recurring meetings → duplicate your standing meetings each week instead of recreating them

• Recurring task patterns → copy weekly checklists or routine tasks

• Project templates → duplicate a completed project to start a similar one

• Client or team meetings → create consistent meeting structures across multiple participants

• Habit tracking → duplicate daily or weekly check-in tasks

• Event series → create similar events (workshops, webinars, interviews) without retyping details

• Team onboarding → duplicate meeting schedules or task lists for new team members

Duplication transforms routine repetition into a one-click action, freeing you to focus on what's actually different.
