Copy a library study

You can copy a Production study into your organization's library and copy a library study into your own Production study. Copying a Production study into your library creates a new study on the Library Studies page.

Note:

You can only delete a library study when there are no forms in it that are used in other library studies. Deleting a library study removes all of its records.
