Copy a route to another date
Use Duplicate Route in Upper to copy a route to a new date. The duplicate keeps your stop data and lands in My Route Plan ready to optimize and dispatch.
When you run similar routes day to day, you don't need to rebuild them by hand. Upper Route Planner lets you copy an existing route with Duplicate Route, keeping its stop data so you can run the same work on a different date. The duplicate is created as an independent route in your list, ready to optimize and dispatch on its own.
Before you start
- Plan — Duplicate Route is available on every plan, from Starter up.
- A source route — You need an existing route to copy. Any status works: Draft, Ready For Dispatch, Dispatched, In Transit, or Completed.
Default labels in this article are Assign Drivers, Share to Drivers, and Delivery. Your workspace may show Technician and Service instead — the label set is configurable, so the buttons map one-to-one even if the wording differs.
How duplicating works
Duplicate Route creates a brand-new route from the stops on your source route. The copy is named Copy [route name] — for example, duplicating "Route Plan - 499" creates "Copy Route Plan - 499". The two routes are independent: editing one does not change the other.
The duplicate arrives unoptimized and unassigned, so you optimize it and dispatch it as a separate run. Stop details such as addresses and contact information carry into the copy; completion status and proof of delivery belong to the original route and stay there.
Copy a route to another date
Open My Route Plan
In the left sidebar, open the Plan group and select Route Plan. This opens My Route Plan, the table of all your saved routes.
Find the route you want to copy
Use the search field or the Filter dropdown to locate the source route.
Open the route's Action menu
Click the "…" (Action) menu on the route's row.
Select Duplicate Route
Choose Duplicate Route from the menu.
Set the new date and confirm
Set the date you want the copy to run on, then confirm to create it. The new route appears in My Route Plan named Copy [route name].
Optimize and dispatch the copy
Open the new route, run Optimize Route, assign your drivers, then Share to Drivers when you're ready. The copy moves through the normal statuses: Draft → Ready For Dispatch → Dispatched → In Transit → Completed.
For a one-off repeat — running tomorrow what you ran today — duplicating is the fastest path. If you run the same route on a fixed schedule, a recurring route is more maintainable. See Create recurring routes.
After copying
The duplicate lands in My Route Plan with the date you set. Because it is created unoptimized, it won't show a sequenced path until you run Optimize Route. From there it behaves like any other route — you can add or remove stops, reassign drivers, and dispatch it independently of the original.

Archive and unarchive routes
Upper has no separate archive button. Routes stay in Route Plan until you delete them. Use Filter and the date range to hide old routes from view.
Copy stops from an existing route
Use Duplicate Route in Upper to copy stops from an existing route into a new, independent route — so you never re-enter the same addresses and details twice.
