Duplicate Change Control

Change Management
Updated Jan 24, 2026

How It Works

When viewing the changes list at https://changebreeze.com/changes/, each change has a "Duplicate Change" option in the actions dropdown menu (three dots on the right side of each row).

User Flow:

Find a Change: Browse the changes list and locate the change you want to duplicate

Open Actions Menu: Click the three-dot menu icon on the right side of the change row

Select Duplicate: Click "Duplicate Change" from the dropdown menu

Automatic Redirect: You're immediately taken to the edit form for the new duplicated change

Success Message: A confirmation message appears: "Change duplicated successfully. You are now editing the new copy."

What Gets Copied:

The duplicate includes all the original change's details:

  • Title (prefixed with "Copy of")

  • Description

  • Implementation, test, and rollback plans

  • Risk and impact levels

  • Communication plan

  • Assigned users and approvers

  • Approval mode (basic or vCAB)

  • Notification settings

  • Teams webhook configuration

What's Different:

  • Status: Always starts as Draft (fresh start)

  • Creator: Set to the user who created the duplicate

  • Title: Prefixed with "Copy of" to distinguish it from the original

  • No Approvals: All approval states are reset (clean slate)

Use Cases:

  • Recurring Changes: Quickly create similar changes without re-entering all details

  • Change Templates: Use a well-documented change as a starting point for similar work

  • Variations: Create multiple versions of a change with slight modifications

  • Efficiency: Save time on repetitive change creation

The duplicate is ready to edit immediately. You can modify any fields before submitting for approval.
