Duplicate projects

If you’d like to edit your project but keep its original version as well, you can duplicate it.

This is also useful if you need to give multiple students the same assignment you created in Explain Everything.

Duplicating a project will create a copy of it in the same location as the original.

On the iOS version of Explain Everything, you can duplicate both local and cloud projects.

  2. Navigate to the project you’d like to duplicate.
  3. Select  Project Details under the project's thumbnail.
