A useful head start
What does duplicating a gas certificate actually do?
The duplicate feature creates a separate, editable certificate from a previous record saved in your account.
It can reduce repeated data entry on return visits, but it does not replace the inspection. Dates, readings, appliance information, outcomes, notes and any other changed details must still be reviewed and updated for the current job.
The important bit:
the previous certificate remains in the customer’s history. Changes
made to the duplicate do not overwrite it.
How it works
From previous record to new certificate
Three straightforward stages, with the engineer remaining in control of the information being recorded.
Create the duplicate
Select the duplicate option to create a separate certificate that can be edited for the new visit.
Inspect, update and send
Complete the current inspection, update everything that has changed, check the record and send the finished certificate.
Worth remembering
A quicker starting point, not a shortcut through the checks.
A duplicated certificate must accurately reflect the current visit. Engineers remain responsible for reviewing and completing the new record correctly before it is issued.

Questions answered
Duplicate gas certificate FAQs
The practical details to know before using a previous record as your starting point.
What does duplicating a gas certificate mean?
It creates a separate editable certificate using a previous record as the starting point. The original certificate remains unchanged.
Can I duplicate any certificate?
Certificate types created within your account can be duplicated, provided the original record has been fully synced.
Can I edit the duplicated certificate?
Yes. The duplicate is a new editable record. Every detail should be reviewed and updated to reflect the current job before it is saved or sent.
Will duplication overwrite the original certificate?
No. The original certificate stays in the customer or property history exactly as it was.
Can I duplicate a certificate while offline?

Will my business branding be included?
Your saved business information and branding can be carried into the new record. Check the finished certificate before issuing it.
