Duplicating stories

Copy a story or template as a starting point, for the same or another setup.

Duplicate a story to reuse it as a starting point, for another setup or another audience. You can duplicate your own stories, stories shared with you and story templates.

Duplicate one story

  1. On the Stories page or in Story Templates, open the story's ⋮ menu (or right-click it) and choose Duplicate. The Duplicate story window opens.

  2. Title: Compose suggests "Copy of" plus the original title. You can change it, but it must differ from your other stories' titles.

  3. Destination folder: where the copy goes. It starts as the current folder, or My Stories.

  4. Setup: choose one or more setups for the copy. Only setups with the same number of screens are listed. If only one setup fits, this field is hidden.

  5. Scale content: appears when a setup you picked has a different screen ratio. Choose Scale to Fit (the default) or Crop (see Scaling strategies).

  6. Click Duplicate.

Duplicate several stories

Select the stories, click Duplicate in the action bar and choose one destination for all the copies. See Selecting multiple items (bulk actions).

What the copy includes

  • All scenes, assets, backgrounds and transitions

  • On-click actions, pointing to the copied scenes and assets

  • Triggers

  • Screen Overlay and Screen Backdrop content

  • Story settings

What's different about the copy

  • It's a Draft, so it only appears in TSS Control once you publish it. A copy of a template is a normal story.

  • It belongs to you.

  • If the new setup doesn't have all the triggers, Compose warns you that some triggers aren't available for that setup.
