I already have the carbon copy menu duplicator plug-in installed and activated if you haven’t done this yet please check out the installation video first then come back to this video there two ways to initiate and then you copy we can visit the duplicator app directly by going to tools carbon copy menu duplicator
in this case were presented with a list of menus we can choose to copy we just select the menu we want and continue from there the other way to initiate a copy is from the appearance menu screen
we want to duplicate this venue called my menu so I click the coffee menu button here and this will load the duplicator app in this case too many we want two copies pre-selected in the first step in either case once we’ve selected our source menu in step one we’re showing a preview of the men you were copying on the right for visual confirmation in the second step we give our menu and name the duplicator will automatically assign it a unique Name by adding copy or copy and a number after our original menu name or we can give it any man we want as long as that menu name doesn’t already exist I’m going to call Lars my new menu
now we’re ready to go I just click Start duplication process to begin copying the menu
important to keep the window open while the process runs and will be updated along the way while the duplication occurs you’ll see the steps in order on the left side here when the duplication process is complete I’ll get a notification at the top of the screen and a preview of the duplicated menu on the right I can quickly visually scan it and confirm that it matches the original menu to the left you’ll see that each menu item now has a unique ID
so now I have two identical copies of the menu from here I can click the link to go back to the menu editor for either menu
now I’m viewing my duplicated menu and it’s exactly the same as the original and I can make as many copies as I want I want to make another copy of this menu quick Copy menu again
here’s my copy name start duplication process and now I have a third copy of the exact same and you again
and we can edit that however we like this is great for creating backups of your menus for creating a copy that you want to use for a mobile menu for just experimenting with new settings potentially blowing up your original menu so it’s got all sorts of great use cases to really make your your workflow a lot easier and and not having to start from scratch every time you want to build a new menu hope you guys find that you so let’s the carbon copy menu duplicator from Seven sparked available on seven spark.com thank God
