Duplicating a Media List can be accomplished using the Settings area of the platform. Duplicating is beneficial if you have a built a list in one data group and want to use it in another data group without creating the same list from scratch.  Finally, this process is also a helpful option if you built a list in the wrong data group and want to easily move it to the correct data group deleting the erroneously created list afterward if you wish. You must have administrator privileges to see the Settings area.  If you need a change in privileges to gain access to the Settings area, contact the Customer Support team by creating a new ticket.

To access the My Lists management area in Settings:

• Click on the person icon in the upper right-hand corner of your screen and select Settings from the drop-down.

• Select My Lists from the Settings Panel
