Copy of project

I have a workspace project set up the way I like for 2021. When I make a copy of it and update the date ranges, it update the dates on the original project.  I don't want the two projects linked.  Help?? How can I duplicate the first project (almost as a template) and then use the duplicated version without impacting the data in the original project??

Ok, yes... The use of custom date ranges (which are shared) is the reason... Like segments and calculated metrics... These are assets and will be shared.

 

Sadly, this will mean if you want unique date columns as shown, you will need to make new ranges and drag to replace these ones....

Hello.

 

Making a copy of a workspace project and then using the date range feature in the top right corner of the project shouldn't have any impact on the original project time period.  Workspace projects are independent from each other.

 

Are you update a time based segment by chance (a purple tile or a blue tile referencing a time window)?  Using the same segments or time segments across workspace project WILL impact both projects.  The only way to separate them would be to make a copy of the time based segment with a different name.

 

Not sure that helped, but i'm not sure how it's possible for a date range in one project could impact the date range in other project, again unless there is something else linking the two projects together.

Thank you so much for the quick response!  I am using the purple tile option so I am guessing it is the same segment or time segement? are there any tutorials on how to do what you are suggesting?  (making a copy of the time based segment with a different name)?  This is a snap shot of my project...
