      • Click on the channel where you want to copy from and select Copy tool from the pop-up.
      • In the channel rate name drop-down, select the channel name, room name, rate name you wish to copy to.
      • At the Copy options tick the boxes of the restrictions you want to copy.
      • Click on the Copy button, to complete the process
  3. Verify the Changes:
    • Once the copy is complete, you can verify the copied settings by viewing the channel rates under Distribution > Inventory.
