Helpful tip!<\/strong><\/em> Thanks to a product enhancement in August, 2023<\/a>, you can opt to allow anyone to whom your story is visible to be able to duplicate that story into their own account. When you go to publish your story, you’ll notice a couple of checkboxes under “Advanced options.” One of those checkboxes is Allow duplication<\/strong>; simply check that box, and anyone can create a copy of your story. This can be helpful for sharing story templates within your organization and across your field alike.<\/p>\n","image_reference":false,"layout":"standard","image_reference_figure":"","snippet":"","spotlight_name":"","section_title":"","position":"Right","spotlight_image":false},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"
