Creating a Guidebook by Duplicating an Existing Guide

Are you making a guidebook that will have a lot of the same information of one of your existing Folio guidebooks? Perhaps you have the same house rules or want to share the same recommendations. Great news — you can duplicate an existing guidebook to save time!

<aside> 💡 Pro tip: create “Template” guides that are not published. Make one for each type of property, and/or each area you operate in. When you need to create a new guidebook, you can save time by duplicating your template guide.
