This is the exact reason why I moved to event templates instead of copying previous events. There's always something that ends up a little different during an event - whether you need to add an extra email for waitlisted registrants, run an extra report for that one stakeholder, or send out additional information because there's one-off construction around your venue. Using a template gives me a baseline of a "normal" event without me worrying about accidentally copying information that was specific to one certain instance and without having to comb through the event I'm about to copy to make sure it's what I need.

Subject: Advantages of event templates vs. cloning?
Hi,
I want to understand the advantages of event templates vs. cloning? We think we want to create an event template for an event that is the same YOY, but we sometimes have issues with bad information getting copied or features that are out of date? Does the event template solve for that?
Thank you!
