💡 Duplicate an initiative
❓ Why duplicate?
Save time if you’re running similar actions (e.g. different locations/dates). It keeps your structure and details — you just update what’s needed.
How to duplicate:
Go to My Initiatives
Find the one you want to copy
Click More options > Duplicate
➡️ A pre-filled initiative appears — adjust as needed!
✅ Understand and manage initiative statuses
Statuses affect visibility to volunteers and company admins:
🔓 Open: Visible to collaborators (unless unpublished by a company admin)
🚫 Closed: No longer visible to new volunteers, but still accessible to those already signed up
📦 Archived: Hidden from everyone except your organization
🔁 To change a status:
From the initiative list, click on the Status column:
Click Open to close it
Click Closed to reopen
Once closed, you can archive it
❗ Closing an initiative does not cancel existing volunteer registrations. It only affects visibility while honoring prior commitments.
