When editing a gift certificate, you can copy a template by selecting More and then Copy from the bottom menu bar.

You can archive a template by selecting More and then Archive from the bottom menu bar when editing a gift certificate. Once archived, the gift certificate is no longer visible as active for Staff or Customers to add to a booking.

To unarchive a template, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the main Item (Inventory > Items) area and filter the Inventory list to show Archived items.
2. Search, filter for, or scroll the page to find the archived gift certificate template and select the gift certificate name to open up the editor.
3. Select the Save button in the footer of the editor, and the gift certificate is reactivated.
   
   

While gift certificate templates can be archived following the above steps if using products, there isn't a specific area to unarchive them. Instead, if you know the archived gift certificate's unique URL, you can visit it and select the Save bottom menu button to unarchive the template.

Click the More button in the bottom menu to translate the information in the Gift Certificate Name and Summary fields.

In the menu that displays, hover your pointer over Translate and then click to select any language you have configured for use in your system from the pop-out menu.

Next, input your translations into the highlighted, translatable fields. Click Save Translation to save your changes when you are done.
