**Outcome.** By the end you can duplicate an active position, find the copy in Drafts, and you know what came across, what did not, and which step to check before the copy goes live.

## Before you start

- A Truffle account. The 7-day free trial works: 30 credits, no credit card.
- An active position to copy.

## Steps

### 1. Open the row menu

On **Positions**, under **Active**, choose ⋯ at the end of the position's row. The menu has **Copy shareable link**, **Get candidates**, **Settings**, **Duplicate** and **Close position**.

### 2. Duplicate it

Choose **Duplicate**. Truffle confirms **Position duplicated** and **Added to Drafts**, and the list switches to **Drafts**. The copy has the same title as the original, reads **Setup incomplete**, and its timeline shows **Draft** with today's date. The original stays live and untouched.

### 3. Open the copy

The copy is a draft, so its menu has **Edit** and **Delete**. Choose **Edit**.

### 4. Check Define the role

The wizard opens as **Create position** with a **Draft** pill, on **Define the role**. The title and description came across, and so did the role brief, here **1 of 3 answered**. Change the title here if you want to tell the two positions apart.

### 5. Check Build position

On **Build position**, Truffle suggests the screen for the copy from its description, as it does for a new position. The switches may not match the original. Here the original ran a video interview and qualification checks, and the copy arrives with **Resume**, **Video Interview** and **Assessments** switched on.

### 6. Set the switches you want

Switch each component on or off to match the screen you want. Here **Resume** and **Assessments** are off, and **Video Interview** and **Qualification checks** are on. The interview summary still reads **5 questions**, the original's set.

### 7. Check the interview

In **Configure screening**, **Interview** holds the original's questions with the same **Time to think**, **Time to answer** and **Retakes**.

### 8. Check the qualification checks

Open **Qualification checks**. If Truffle's suggestion on Build position had them switched off, the copied checks are cleared, and the section reads **No checks yet**. Choose **Generate with AI** or **Create your own**, then mark them **Looks right**.

> Note: Look at this section on every copy before you activate it.

### 9. Review and activate the copy

On **Review and activate**, the candidate experience came across, including the welcome message. The copy stays a draft until you choose **Activate position**. Activating gives it its own link. Choose **Save as draft** to finish later.

## FAQ

**What does a duplicate copy?**

The title, description, role brief answers, interview questions with their response settings, and the candidate experience, including the welcome message. Check Build position and Qualification checks on the copy before you activate it.

**What does a duplicate not copy?**

Candidates, the link and the status. The copy starts as a draft with no candidates and gets its own link when you activate it.

**Is the copy live straight away?**

No. It lands in Drafts as Setup incomplete. Candidates cannot reach it until you choose Activate position.

**Does the copy get a new name?**

No. It keeps the original's title. Change it under Position title on Define the role.

**Can I duplicate a closed or archived position?**

Duplicate is in the menu of active positions. Closed and archived positions offer other actions.
