How To Copy Items
The Copy Items function allows you to copy items from one Auction to another. This can be useful when these items are common to both events; for example, Donation type items are often the exact same or very similar in nature between events.
To start, since this is a push operation, make sure you are in the correct Auction. This will be where the items currently exist; see Change Auctions for more information.

Clear timing details
In most cases, you will want to clear any previous item-specific times set to ensure the copied items will be available for your guests to see.
This is handled by the default setting for the Clear timing details option.
For more information on using the Choose Items function, please see Choose Items Filters.
Once you have chosen the items, click Copy Items under the Actions sidebar menu...
