The Copy Last Week option in the Timesheet view lets you quickly duplicate projects and tasks with or without hours from the previous week. If the option is grayed out or not working, here\u2019s what might be causing it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The approval period is not set to weekly <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Copy Last Week feature only works when your workspace uses a weekly approval period. If the approval range is set to semi-monthly or monthly, the button will be grayed out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s how to check the approval period:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Click on the three dots next to your workspace name and select \u201cWorkspace Settings\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Scroll down until you see the \u201cApprovals\u201d feature<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Check the approval period <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    If you are a regular user in the workspace, ask your admin to review the approval period under Workspace Settings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This behavior applies to timesheet templates as well. You can create and apply them only if the approval period has been set to \u201cWeekly\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The timesheet for the previous week is blank<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    If you didn\u2019t track any time during the previous week, there\u2019s nothing to copy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • At least one time entry must be present in last week\u2019s timesheet<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • The button won\u2019t appear if the previous week is empty<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • You can check last week\u2019s time by clicking on the back arrow on the calendar icon<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The current week already has time entries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      The Copy Last Week option only works if your current week is completely empty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • If you\u2019ve already added time even to one cell, the button will be grayed out<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Clear all time entries for the current week if you want to copy a previous one<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        If you see a message that some time entries couldn\u2019t be copied, it\u2019s likely because one or more projects or tasks have been archived or deleted since last week. You can check that on the Projects page by using the \u201cArchived\u201d filter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
