What happens when you duplicate a Facebook event?
When you duplicate an event on Facebook, a new event is created with the same details and settings as the original event. When you duplicate an event, the following happens:
- Event information
The new event will have the same title, description, date, time, location, and other important details as the original event. You do not have to enter this information again.
- Event settings
The settings of the original event, such as privacy level, guest list, and event visibility are usually copied into the duplicated event. This means that the duplicated event will have the same privacy level (public, private, or hidden) and guest list settings. You can change these settings if necessary.
- Invitations and confirmations
When you duplicate an event, the guest list from the original event is not automatically copied to the duplicated event. Instead, the duplicate event will have an empty guest list. You will need to invite guests again or share the duplicated event with the right audience. Previous presence and interaction confirmations from the original event are not carried over.
- Notifications
Duplicating an event does not trigger notifications for participants in the original event. If you want to notify your guests about a new event, you have to send them invitations manually or share the event with them.
- Event Ownership
A duplicated event usually belongs to the same Facebook account that created the original event. This allows you to have control over both events and make necessary changes or updates.
