# Shortcuts & Useful Actions
These are the features that save you time once you know they exist — duplicating instead of rebuilding, comparing instead of guessing, exporting instead of copying data manually.
***
## Duplicate a Mission
Create an exact copy of any existing [Mission](/missions/what-are-missions.md) to use as a starting point.
### Why use it
You have a "Store Opening Checklist" that works perfectly. Now you need a "Store Closing Checklist" with the same structure. Instead of building 50 questions from scratch, duplicate and edit.
### How to duplicate
1. Go to **Missions → In Library**
2. Select a Mission → sidebar → **Actions → Duplicate Mission**
3. Enter a new unique title
4. The copy is created in [**Draft** status](/missions/how-to-guides/publish-a-mission.md) with all content and settings
Also available from the context menu (right-click the Mission row) or the Mission View Form.
### Good to know
* Duplicates are **independent** — editing one doesn't affect the other
* Only within the **same type** — a Checklist can't become a Survey
* Schedule, history, and team assignments are **not copied** — only content and settings
* The duplicate must go through the full **publish flow** before deployment
***
## Compare Missions
View two [Missions](/missions/what-are-missions.md) side by side to spot differences in content, structure, or settings.
### Why use it
Your Library has a "Workplace Safety" Mission, and the Marketplace offers a newer version with the same name. Which one has better content? Compare shows you both — without opening them in separate tabs.
### How to compare
1. In **Missions → In Library**, select a Mission → sidebar → **Actions → Compare**
2. Select a second Mission from the table
3. A side-by-side view shows both Missions — scroll through content, settings, and structure
Also triggers **automatically** during Marketplace import when a Mission with the same title already exists.
### Good to know
* Comparison is **read-only** — make edits after closing the view
* Missions of **different types** can be compared
* In the [Marketplace](/missions/where-to-find-your-missions.md#in-marketplace), you can add Catalogs, Bundles, and Missions to a **Compare List** with no limit
* Web only — not available on mobile
***
## Copy a Schedule
Reuse an existing schedule across locations or teams instead of setting it up from scratch.
### Why use it
You're opening a second restaurant. The Downtown location already has 30 Missions scheduled perfectly. Instead of recreating each one, copy the entire schedule to the new location in a few clicks.
### How to copy
1. Go to [**Overview → Timeline**](/analytics-and-monitoring/overview/schedules-and-timeline.md)
2. Hover over a Mission → action menu → **Copy Schedule** → select destination → **Paste**
3. Or click the **Copy icon** next to a team name to copy **all schedules** for that team at once
See [Schedule a Mission](/missions/how-to-guides/schedule-a-mission.md) for full details.
### Good to know
* Copied schedule **overwrites** any existing schedule on the destination
* The start date is set to the date you perform the copy
* Not available for idle (unscheduled) Missions
***
## Bulk Create a Group
Select multiple people from the People table at once to create a [Group](/your-organization/groups.md) — instead of adding members one by one.
### Why use it
You need a "Q3 Project Team" group for report distribution. Instead of navigating to Group management and adding 15 people individually, select them all from the People table in one go.
### How to do it
1. Go to **People**
2. Click **Bulk Selection**
3. Check the boxes next to each person
4. Click **Create Group** → fill in the group name and category → save
### Good to know
* Groups are used for Certification notifications, [automated report distribution](/analytics-and-monitoring/reporting/build-a-report.md#subscribing-to-reports), and Course scheduling
* There is no "Select All" — each person must be selected individually
* Bulk Selection only applies to initial group creation — adding members later requires separate group editing
* Web only
***
## Move to Team Library
Make a Mission available to a specific team by moving it from the [Organization Library](/missions/where-to-find-your-missions.md#in-library) to a [Team Library](/missions/where-to-find-your-missions.md#in-teams) — without scheduling it yet.
### Why use it
Scheduling deploys a Mission to a [board](/mobile-app/your-mobile-boards.md) at a specific time. But sometimes you just need a Mission to be *available* to a team — visible in their Team Library for [on-demand](/missions/how-to-guides/trigger-a-mission-out-of-schedule.md) use, or ready for a team manager to schedule later. Move to Team Library does exactly that.
### How to do it
1. Go to **Missions → In Library**
2. Select a Mission → **Actions → Move to Team Library**
3. Choose the destination Team
4. The Mission appears in that Team's Library
Also available as a **bulk action** — select multiple Missions and move them all at once.
### Good to know
* The Mission stays in the Organization Library too — it's not removed, just linked to the Team Library
* A Mission must be [**Published**](/missions/how-to-guides/publish-a-mission.md) before it can be moved
* This is different from scheduling — the Mission won't appear on mobile boards until someone schedules it or triggers it on demand
* Web only

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://documentation.taskmaverick.com/missions/how-to-guides/shortcuts-and-useful-actions.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
