Duplicating and deleting shows

Reusing existing shows and removing them safely.

Duplicating and deleting shows

Duplicating a show

Hover over a show's header row in the cue list. A set of controls appears — click the ⎘ Duplicate button.

A copy of the show is created immediately. The new show gets the same name with " (Copy)" appended, and all cues are copied across with their original settings — titles, types, timers, BPM, key, time signature, and team notes all carry over. The duplicate is inserted directly after the original in the event's show order.

When to duplicate

Reusing a structure. If two segments are similar — two worship sets with the same songs, two acts with the same transitions — duplicate the first one and adjust the second. It's faster than rebuilding.

As a rename workaround. Shows can't be renamed after creation. The cleanest way to fix a name is to duplicate the show, rename is not an option — but you can give the duplicate the right name by deleting the "(Copy)" suffix and typing what you want. Then delete the original. All cues come with it.

Preparing variations. If you have a morning and evening version of the same service with minor differences, duplicate the morning show and make the changes in the copy.

Deleting a show

Hover over a show's header row and click the ✕ Delete button. A confirmation modal appears, showing the name of the show and how many cues it contains.

One restriction: you can't delete a show that's currently running. If the show is live — a session is active — end the show from the director top bar first, then delete it.

Warning

Deleting a show also deletes all of its cues. Every title, timer, note, and type assignment in that show is gone. This cannot be undone. If you're not certain, duplicate the show first to keep a copy before deleting the original.
