Every plan includes as many Ghosts as you like, and one Ghost per topic works better than one broad Ghost. Everything on this page starts from a Ghost’s menu on the Ghosts list.

## Ideas for more Ghosts

A payroll software company might start with one Ghost for people unhappy with their payroll provider, then add a Ghost for each competitor, one for mentions of its own product, and one for moments that trigger a switch, such as hiring a first employee. A monitor can watch named prospects or competitors’ pages. See [Ghost types](/docs/ghosts/ghost-types).

## Copy a Ghost

Choose Copy Ghost. The copy has the same type, goal, search queries, settings and notifications, and its name ends in “(Copy)”. It starts paused, so turn on Auto scan once you have edited it. The copy does not keep [Auto-assign Finds](/docs/finds/assigning#auto-assign).

Use a copy to try a different goal or threshold without touching a Ghost that works.

## Transmute a Ghost to another platform

Transmuting builds a new finder on another platform from an existing one. PitchGhost rewrites the search queries for the new platform and keeps the goal, Match threshold, tone, Scan frequency and Max Finds per scan. The original Ghost stays as it is.

1.  Choose Transmute.
2.  Choose Select new service and pick the new Ghost type.
3.  Choose Transmute. A new Ghost form opens, filled in.
4.  Check the values, the search queries most of all, then choose Create or Create + scan.

Only finders can be transmuted. Monitors can’t.

## Rename a Ghost

Choose Rename Ghost, type the new name and press Enter. You can also change Ghost’s name in the Ghost’s settings. Names can be up to 100 characters.

## Delete a Ghost

Deleting a Ghost deletes its Finds

Every Find the Ghost found is deleted with it, and this can’t be undone. To stop a Ghost and keep its Finds, choose Pause scanning instead.

Choose Delete Ghost from the Ghost’s menu, or open the Ghost and choose Danger zone then Delete Ghost. Confirm with Delete.

## Find and filter your Ghosts

Type in Search your Ghosts… to search by name, or open the filter menu to filter and sort the list. Save filters makes the current filters your default view.
