Overview
If you need to quickly duplicate a single shift — for example, to repeat the same shift on another day or assign it to a different staff member — you can do this using the 3-dot menu on the shift block.
How to Copy a Single Shift
On the rota view, find the shift you want to copy.
Hover over the shift block to reveal the 3-dot (⋮) menu icon in the corner of the block.
Click the 3-dot menu and select Copy shift.
A panel will open asking you to choose where to copy the shift to:
Select the day(s) within the current week, or navigate to another week.
Select the staff member(s) to assign the copied shift to — you can copy to the same person or a different staff member.
Click Copy to confirm. The copied shift(s) will appear on the rota in Draft state.
Other Options in the 3-Dot Menu
The 3-dot menu also gives you quick access to:
Edit shift — change the times, unit, tags, or notes on this shift.
Delete shift — remove the shift from the rota. If the shift is already published, deleting it will notify the worker.
Tips
Copying a shift does not publish it automatically — you'll still need to publish the rota for the copied shifts to be visible to workers.
To copy an entire week's worth of shifts at once, see the Copying Shifts to a New Week article.
