Question

  • How do I verify if I've made a deep copy?
  • How can I identify a deep copy?
  • Is it possible to identify menu items, groups, and modifiers that have been deep copied?

Answer

When you deep copy a menu group, item, or modifier, the name of the new entity will have "(Deep Copy)" at the end of it after you save your changes.

 

You can also view all of your menu data using the items database. If you search by name, you'll see any groups, items, or modifiers with similar names, which can help you identify copied entities. Learn more about the items database here: Use the Items Database to View and Manage Menus.

Additional Information

A deep copy creates an independent copy of the group/item/modifier. For example, if you deep copy a burger to another menu group, the burger and all associated modifier groups will be copied, and each of those components will have a new item number.
