Choosing a clone for a new fundraising year

This article covers GiveCampus campaign administration. Available controls can vary between the classic and redesigned campaign interfaces.

A clone is useful when reusing much of the existing structure; a new campaign is useful when the intended design/settings differ substantially. The clone starts as draft and resets final totals; optional copy categories include designations, incentives, links, templates and suggested amounts. It does not copy donor payments as new gifts.

Review every copied date, media asset, destination, template and eligibility rule before launch. Cloning does not automatically copy the separate prelaunch-page configuration, so plan to configure/review the new campaign's prelaunch page instead of assuming the previous year's page is carried over. Cloning does not publish the new campaign.
