Cloning a placement is a great way to quickly build out your media plans. This can be useful when you have multiple placements that are similar, such as Search, Social or Programmatic. Once you build out 1 placement, you can use the clone to easily create the others and simply change the attributes that are different.

In this article, we'll cover:

  1. Clone a Single Placement
  2. Clone Multiple Placements
  3. Clone Placements From Another Campaign

Clone a Single Placement
