Learn the simple steps to duplicate campaigns in Smartlead, including copying all settings and subsequences automatically for fast and consistent campaign setup.

## Overview

Duplicating a campaign in Smartlead helps you quickly copy an existing campaign—including all email sequences, settings, and subsequences—to save time and ensure consistency when launching similar campaigns.

## Why Use Campaign Duplication?

## What Is Included in the Duplication?

-   All email sequences and subject lines
    
-   Campaign settings and schedules
    
-   Subsequence configurations and automation rules  
    

**Note:** The lead list and campaign performance data are NOT duplicated. You’ll need to upload a new lead list to the duplicated campaign.  
  

## After Duplicating

-   Rename the campaign if needed for clarity.
    
-   Upload new leads for the duplicated campaign.
    
-   Review and update any personalization variables or content specific to the new target audience.
    
-   Test your campaign setup before activating.
    

## **Pro Tips:**

-   **Always rename your duplicated campaign** to avoid confusion and keep your workspace organized.
    
-   **Upload a fresh lead list** tailored to your new target audience to maximize engagement.
    
-   **Review and update personalization tokens** to make your emails relevant and increase response rates.
    
-   **Test the entire sequence** before activating to catch any errors or outdated content.
    
-   **Leverage subsequence duplication** to keep complex automation intact without manual effort.
