- Read only mode
The updates in the duplicate board will be in read only mode. This means that they cannot be modified or deleted. You also cannot like the duplicate update or reply to it.
- The entire post will be copied
This means that the update will be copied with its assets and the replies. If your update includes a checklist, your checklist will also be copied. Your checklist will be duplicated exactly as it is on the original post. This means that if one item is marked as done, it will be marked as done in the duplicate.
- Limitation
The latest 100 posts of each item will be duplicated.
