# Duplicate a script

_Library · 2 min read · Updated 2026-11-08 · https://lanachat.ai/guides/duplicate-a-script/_

Duplicating a script copies it with all its steps, media and prices, and leaves its first step empty so you write a new opener. Use it to reuse a script that sells, or to test one change against the original.

## What is it for?

- **Reuse a script that sells.** Keep its steps and prices, change only the opening message and the media.
- **Test a variant.** The same script with another opening or another price, to see which one sells better.
- **One script per market.** Adapt a script that works to fans of another country.

## How do I duplicate a script?

1. Open **Scripts** and pick the creator.
2. In the row of the script, press **Duplicate**, or open the **…** menu and choose **Duplicate**. The `D` key does the same on the selected row, and the **…** menu of the editor has **Duplicate** too.
3. The copy appears named after the original with "(copy)".
4. Its **first step is empty**, only its delay is kept: write a new opening message, then pick its media from the Vault. The other steps are copied as they are.
5. Rename the copy and rewrite its goal, under the name: say what differs from the original.
6. Attach it in **AI Brain › Scripts** to decide when it can start. Until then, the AI does not send it.

The first time you duplicate a script, a short window explains these steps. **Read the guide** opens this page.

## Good practice

- **Change the goal.** Say what differs: the moment, the fan, the opening or the price. See [Write a good script description](https://lanachat.ai/guides/write-a-script-description/).
- **Change the media**, so a fan who saw the original gets something new.
- **Name the copy clearly**: "Evening tease, Spanish" is easier to find than "Evening tease (copy)".
- **One change per variant** when you test, so you know what made the difference.

See [Scripts](https://lanachat.ai/guides/scripts/) for the editor and the list, and the [first-purchase script](https://lanachat.ai/guides/first-purchase-script/) for a script worth duplicating.

## FAQ

### Is the copy sent to fans right away?

No. The AI only sends a script attached in **AI Brain › Scripts**, and the copy's first step is empty until you write it.

### Are the prices copied?

Yes. Every step keeps its media and its price, except the first step, which starts empty.

### Can I duplicate a script to another creator?

Not with Duplicate: the copy stays with the same creator. Use **Import script** with a JSON export on the other creator's Scripts page.
