# Private Panels study templates

Study templates can be helpful if your company follows the same format for all of your studies. These can lessen the time you spend on creating each study.

**There are two ways to create a study from a template:**

When creating the study, select the template from the **Copy Study** drop-down field.

Duplicate a study by using the **Duplicate study** button found at the bottom of the **Study Settings** sub-page of a study.

Using this feature will not copy the panelists of the original study to the duplicate study. It will only copy the following:

* [Study Segments](/private-panels/studies/study-filters-and-segments.md)
* [Screeners](/private-panels/screeners/create-a-private-panels-screener.md)
* Email templates: Request Email, Confirmation Email, and Reminder Email
* [Meeting Reminders Settings](/private-panels/studies/session-reminders.md)
* [Quota Groups](/private-panels/studies/quota-grids.md)
* [Custom Study Attributes](/private-panels/studies/private-panels-custom-study-attributes.md)

Make sure you've properly customized/configured these before you duplicate it to lessen the need for editing the duplicated study.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.dscout.com/private-panels/studies/private-panels-study-templates.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
