How to Duplicate Pages within Notion?

​

Duplicating pages within Notion is a valuable feature that allows you to clone an existing page and create a new one based on the same template or structure. This can save significant time by eliminating the need to recreate similar pages from scratch. Whether you are managing a personal project, collaborating with a team, or streamlining your workflow, duplicating pages can enhance both consistency and productivity. In this article, we will explore the steps to duplicate pages within Notion using the latest features and best practices.

​

Step 1: Open the Page to Duplicate

​

To begin duplicating a page in Notion, navigate to the page you wish to duplicate. This might be a page within a Workspace, a database entry, a personal project, or even a page shared by another user or team with appropriate access.

​

Step 2: Access the Duplicate Option

​

Once you have the desired page open, locate the three-dot menu icon (often labeled as the More Options menu) found at the upper-right corner of the page. Click this icon, then select the Duplicate option from the menu. Notion will then initiate the process of creating a copy of the current page.

​

Step 3: Configure Duplicated Page Settings

​

After clicking Duplicate, a configuration panel appears, allowing you to adjust settings for the duplicate. Key options include:

​

• Location: Choose where the new duplicated page should be placed within your Workspace or database. This step is useful for staying organized and categorizing your pages properly.
• Duplication Type:  
• Full Page: This option copies all content, including sub-pages, linked databases, embedded media, and formatting.  
• Page Content Only: This option duplicates only the main textual and media content while excluding sub-pages.

​

Any adjustments you make to the new duplicated page will not affect the original page, as they become independent.

​

Step 4: Save and Access the Duplicated Page

​

After configuring your settings, click the Duplicate button to complete the process. Notion will generate a copy of your page according to your chosen specifications. The duplicated page typically opens in a new tab, allowing you to immediately begin editing or customizing it to suit your needs.

Tips and Tricks for Duplicating Pages

​

1. Utilize Duplicated Pages as Templates

​

Duplicated pages are especially useful when building a personal or team Knowledge Base. By creating a comprehensive and well-organized page complete with text formatting, embedded media, tables, and more, you can save it as a template. Then, simply duplicate this template page whenever you need to generate a similar page, ensuring consistency throughout your Workspace.

​

2. Batch Duplicating Pages

​

For users dealing with multiple pages, Notion now supports bulk actions in certain scenarios. In your sidebar or database view, try selecting multiple pages by holding the Shift key (on Windows) or Command key (on macOS) while clicking on the pages you want to duplicate. Once selected, right-click any of the highlighted pages and choose the Duplicate option. This ability to duplicate several pages simultaneously can save time and maintain consistency—though availability of this feature may vary based on your current setup.

​

3. Customizing Duplicated Pages

​

After a page is duplicated, you can customize it further. Modify the content, reorganize sections, or apply different templates or formatting options. This flexibility allows you to tailor the duplicated pages for specific projects or different team members while retaining the original structure for consistency.

​

Conclusion

​

Duplicating pages within Notion is a powerful feature that can significantly streamline your work processes. By following a few simple steps, you can create exact replicas of your existing pages, configure settings to suit your organizational needs, and begin working or collaborating right away. Whether you use duplicated pages as templates, take advantage of batch duplication, or customize them for particular purposes, Notion’s duplication functionality remains an essential tool for enhancing productivity and maintaining consistency in your Workspace.
