How to duplicate a form in CornerSpot

When you need a new form that's a lot like one you already have, you don't have to rebuild it from scratch. Duplicating makes a deep copy of an existing form — every field and every option, exactly as it was — so you can rename it and adjust a few details instead of starting over. It's the fastest way to spin up a variant: a regional version of a contact form, an event-specific intake form, or an A/B test of the same questions.

How to duplicate a form in Cornerspot

You duplicate forms straight from the Forms list — no need to open the form first.

1. Open Forms

From the dashboard, select Forms in the left-hand menu to open your forms list. This is where every form lives, each row with its own quick actions.

2. Find the form you want to copy

Use the Search forms… box to find the form you want to start from — it matches on both the form's name and its slug. Once you spot it, look to the right-hand Actions of its row.

3. Click the Duplicate action

Click the Duplicate button (the copy icon) on that form's row. Cornerspot shows a brief spinner while it makes a deep copy of the form — all of its fields and any dropdown or multi-select options come along for the ride. When it finishes, a Form duplicated confirmation appears.

4. Your copy is ready

The new form appears in the list, named "Your form (Copy)" (the original's name with (Copy) added). The copy starts unpublished, so nothing goes live by accident — you're free to rename it, edit its fields, and adjust its settings before you share it. Click the row to open it in the Builder whenever you're ready.

When duplicating beats building from scratch

  • You need a near-identical form with one or two changes — a different audience, a tweaked question, or a seasonal variant.
  • Your original form already has a carefully ordered set of fields and options you don't want to recreate by hand.
  • You want a safe place to experiment: edit the copy freely without touching the form that's already collecting submissions.

Good to know

  • Duplicating copies the form's fields and options, not its submissions — the copy starts with an empty inbox of its own.
  • The copy is not published anywhere: any shareable link, portal audience, or website placement on the original is not carried over.
  • Give the copy a clear new name (and slug) so it's easy to tell apart from the original in your list.
