Background
If you’re duplicating an existing access review (seeDuplicating an Access Review) or creating a recurring review (see Scheduling an Access Review), you may be wondering what data and settings get copied over from the previous review. This article describes exactly how Lumos copies data between access reviews.When is data reused?
When you duplicate an existing access review (see Duplicating an Access Review), Lumos copies the data and settings from the review you’re duplicating at the time of duplication. When Lumos copies data from a previous review for an upcoming recurring review (see Scheduling an Access Review), the info that was in place before the last review’s launch date is copied over. When an Access Review is duplicated or created again from a recurring Access Review, the Access Review title will include the date of this new creation, for example:Quarterly Access Review - Sep 01, 2026
For recurring reviews, ad hoc changes made to the last review’s settings after the last review’s launch date are not copied over.
If you made changes to the last review’s settings after the launch date, make those changes again before your next review’s launch date.
After duplicating, review each app to ensure that accounts are assigned per your internal policies, and that column visibility for reviewers matches your preferences.
