The start over button sounds ambiguous.

Before

After

Context

Users were confused why they have to select the menu items again.


Ive also noticed that people ignored the back arrow on the header.

Solution

The whole selection is duplicated by default with an option to customize it.


Buttons replaced with checkboxes to ensure action affordability.

Cancel duplication flow button added to the sticky footer.
