Copying Promotions

Copying creates a duplicate of a Promotion and copies it to another Promotion List. Use Copy to to port Promotions from a staging Web site to a live Web site.

Before you begin

The copy actions copies the last saved state of the Promotion, therefore make sure to save changes before copying.

You cannot copy a Promotion that is invalid.

Procedure

    The Targeting Dashboard appears.

  2. In the Source drop-down menu:
    1. Select a Web site for which you want to manage Promotions. For example, you will typically have a "Staging" Web site and a "Live" Web site:
      • Staging is the internal Web site where Experience Manager is set up for inline editing and testing
      • Live is your external, public-facing Web site
    2. Click the Promotions tab to view the list of Promotions available for the Web site.
    A list of Promotions for which you have Manage Promotions rights is displayed.
  3. Go to the Promotion you want to copy and open the actions menu in the right-hand corner:
  4. Click Copy to.

    The Copy promotion to another list appears.

  5. Select a Web site where you want to copy the Promotion to and click Copy from the drop-down menu.
  6. Confirm you want to copy the Promotion.

Results

The Promotion is copied to the selected Promotion List:
  • If the Promotion already exists in the target Promotion List, the existing copy will be replaced.
  • The copy action maintains the Promotion priority relative to other Promotions existing in both the source and target Promotion Lists
