Use an existing discount to create a new discount
When creating a discount with details and settings that are similar to an existing discount, you can create a copy of the existing discount and use it to create a new discount. Duplicating a discount copies the original information of the discount into a new discount, reducing the effort needed to create a similar discount from scratch. Once a copy is created, you can customize the discount to fit the new discount you want to create.
