# Copy Shifts in the Scheduler

The **Copy** option in the Scheduler makes it easy to duplicate scheduled shifts across weeks or employee views.

To copy a shift schedule:

1. Go to **Scheduling** in the main navigation panel.
2. At the top of the schedule, select your preferred view from the dropdown, for example, **Weekly by Employee** or **2 Weeks by Employee**. **Note:** This function is available only for weekly and bi-weekly schedules.
3. On the bottom right, click the three-dot action button and select **Copy**. ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/88d7ebef-752e-45d9-95e1-ee13bd7279c5/Images/Documentation/image(303).png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-01T16%3A15%3A22Z&se=2026-11-01T17%3A15%3A22Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=X48n3cqV4A8cgkJllsPDvH6duXPm0Mtn8S3oop3v%2BI4%3D)
4. When you click **Copy**, a new window will appear to confirm the date ranges and conflict handling:

- **Start / End**: These are the original dates of the schedule you want to copy.
- **Copy to / End**: Set the target date range where the copied shifts will be placed.
- **Select option**: Choose how to handle scheduling conflicts in the destination period:
  - **Allow Conflicts**: Copies all shifts even if conflicts exist.
  - **Avoid Conflicts**: Skips shifts that would cause a conflict (e.g., overlapping shifts).
  - **Overwrite Conflicts**: Replaces any existing shifts with the new ones.
  - **Stop Operation if Conflict(s)**: Cancels the entire copy if any conflicts are detected.

1. After selecting your preferred conflict option, click **Copy** to apply the changes.

**Tip:** Review the weekly schedule first to avoid accidentally overwriting or duplicating shifts. ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/88d7ebef-752e-45d9-95e1-ee13bd7279c5/Images/Documentation/image(305).png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-01T16%3A15%3A22Z&se=2026-11-01T17%3A15%3A22Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=X48n3cqV4A8cgkJllsPDvH6duXPm0Mtn8S3oop3v%2BI4%3D)
