# 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.

# Agent Instructions
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 by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

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

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
