Duplicating saves you from re-entering details. You can copy a single event, or a whole calendar with all of its events. The original is never changed.
Duplicate an event
In your event list, click the three dots on the event and choose Duplicate.
The event form opens with a copy titled "Copy of" plus the original title. Change any details and pick the calendar it should go on.
Click Create Event.
The copy is a separate event with its own link. The original event and its link are not changed.
The copy keeps the original's RSVP settings, including email reminders on the Business plan, so you do not need to set them up again.
Recurring events
Duplicating one date from a recurring series creates a single standalone event that is not part of the original series.
Synced events
You can duplicate an event synced from an external calendar, for example to show it on a second calendar. The copy is a normal AddCal event, so later changes in the source calendar do not update it.
Duplicate a calendar
Click Calendars in the sidebar.
Click the three dots on the calendar and choose Duplicate.
Confirm with Duplicate calendar.
AddCal creates a new calendar with "(Copy)" at the end of its name, containing a copy of every event in the original, including recurring series. Events synced from an external calendar are not copied.
How copies count toward your plan
Every copied event counts toward your plan's monthly event limit, just like a new event. On the Free plan (10 events a month), a calendar copy that would go over the limit is not created. AddCal shows a Calendar not duplicated message that says how many events the copy needs, with an Upgrade button. Premium and Business include unlimited events.
