Duplicate an appointment in outlook calendar

Question

Right clicking does not give me a duplicate option like everyone says it will

Answer 1

It's incomprehensible to me that MS doesn't support copying/duplicating meetings. They say it creates "problems" - I say fix the problems! This is an extremely basic feature and it's incredibly frustrating that Outlook has such a limitation. Here's the low down on why MS doesn't support copying or duplicating meetings for anyone interested: https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/office/outlook-blocks-copying-meetings-with-copying-meetings-is-not-supported-4baaa023-2199-4833-b7ac-d9f0715d50f1

Answer 2

The "Duplicate event" right-click menu item is only available in the web mail (OWA) and the "new" Outlook client. The good old "classic" Outlook client does not have this. To create a copy of an appointment/event therein, you can select the appointment, press CTRL+C to copy it, then CTRL+V to paste. Alternatively, hold the CTRL key and drag the appointment with your mouse to a new slot, this will also create a duplicate.
