Overview
If there is an existing event which has the desired information, it can be cloned to create a new future event. So past or future events should be available to clone, to create new future events. Cloning saves time, instead of manually copying everything over, or retyping the information in the fields.
Note: review the orange section "Some fields will not be cloned" to see what is not copied over.
