How to copy Sources from one Stream to another.

It’s incredibly quick and easy to add Sources that you’ve used in previous Streams to a new Stream. You can also add Sources from public Streams that other members of the Factr community have created.

​

Here’s how it works:

• Go to the Stream that you want to copy the Sources to and click on Settings > Sources
• Click the “Copy Sources” tab
• Find the Stream from which you want to copy sources, either by scrolling down the list of Streams or by searching (click in the field labeled “Find streams”)
• Click the plus sign next to the stream with the Sources you want to copy (where it says “+ x sources”). Once you’ve copied them, you can always delete individual Sources sources that aren’t relevant.
