How to Duplicate a Rock in Ninety
Ninety doesn't have a one-click duplicate button for Rocks. Instead, you create a linked Rock: a new, independent Rock based on an existing one. The title and description carry over, so you're not starting from scratch, but once created, the linked Rock has its own owner, status, milestones, and tracking.
Any Owner, Admin, Manager, Implementer, or Managee/Team Member on a paid plan can create a linked Rock.
What is a linked Rock
A linked Rock is a separate Rock associated with the original. It is not a mirror or a shared view; it's a distinct item that happens to be connected. After creation, changes to the original Rock don't affect the linked Rock, and vice versa.
This is different from sharing a Rock across teams. Sharing makes a Rock visible in multiple places while keeping a single owner and status. A linked Rock creates two independent Rocks, each tracked separately. For a full comparison, see Sharing Rocks Across Multiple Teams.
When to use a linked Rock
A linked Rock is the right choice when:
The same goal applies to multiple team members, and each person needs to track their own progress independently.
You maintain a template Rock with boilerplate description text and want to spin up new Rocks from it at the start of each quarter.
Two teams are working toward related but distinct priorities, and each needs its own status and milestone tracking.
If you need the same Rock to simply appear on multiple team pages without separate tracking, use the Other Teams field instead. See Sharing Rocks Across Multiple Teams.
How to create a linked Rock
Click Rocks in the left navigation.
Find the Rock you want to use as the starting point.
Right-click the Rock's row, or click the ellipsis at the end of the row, to open the options menu.
Select Create linked Rock from the menu. A Create Rock window will open with the title and description copied from the original.
Update the title, owner, team, due date, or any other fields as needed.
Click Create linked Rock to save.
The new Rock is created and linked to the original. Each Rock is tracked independently from this point forward.
Unlinking a Rock
Linked Rocks can be unlinked after they are created. For instructions, see Linking Items.
Troubleshooting
I can't find the Create linked Rock option.
Right-click the Rock's row or click the ellipsis at the far right of the row to open the options menu. If the option isn't visible, confirm your account is on a paid plan. The feature is not available on the Free plan.
I deleted a linked Rock — did it delete the original?
No. Deleting a linked Rock permanently removes only that Rock. The original is not affected. Note that deleted Rocks cannot be self-restored. If you need to recover a deleted Rock, contact support.
The linked Rock's title or description isn't what I expected.
The linked Rock copies the title and description from the original at the moment of creation. If the original has changed since you created the link, the linked Rock won't reflect those changes. Update the linked Rock's fields directly from its details panel.
