Find, Duplicate, and Reuse Past Broadcasts

Once you are live, most Editions start life as a copy of something you already sent. Reusing a past Broadcast saves you rebuilding the layout, and it keeps recurring sends (weekly digests, monthly newsletters, standard announcements) consistent. This page shows how to locate a previous Broadcast, duplicate it into a fresh Edition, and tidy up the ones you no longer need.

Before you begin​

  • Know roughly which Broadcast you want: its subject line, the Folder it lived in, or the date it went out.
  • Confirm you have access to the Folder that holds it — Editions are organized by Folder, and you can only reuse what you can see.
  • Decide where the new copy should live. It is usually cleanest to duplicate into the same Folder, then move it if needed.

Steps​

  1. Open the list of Editions and switch the view to show sent Broadcasts (rather than drafts). (confirm the exact steps in your account)
  2. Narrow the list by Folder, or use the search box to match on subject line or sender. Sort by send date to find the most recent version quickly.
  3. Open the Broadcast to confirm it is the one you want — check the subject, content, and the audience it was sent to.
  4. Choose the duplicate (copy) action to create a new Edition from it. This makes an editable draft; the original sent Broadcast is never changed.
  5. Rename the new Edition and update the subject line, dates, and any personalization tokens so the copy is not mistaken for the original.
  6. To keep your list manageable, archive or move older Broadcasts you no longer reuse. (confirm the exact steps in your account)

Result​

You have a fresh draft Edition that mirrors the past Broadcast's layout and content, ready to edit and re-send. The original sent Broadcast stays intact in its Folder for your records and reporting.
