How to Duplicate Pages within Notion?

​

Duplicating pages within Notion is an invaluable feature that allows you to clone an existing page and create a new one based on its structure. This helps eliminate the repetitive task of recreating similar pages from scratch—ideal for managing personal projects, collaborating with a team, or organizing your workflow. This article covers the updated steps and best practices for duplicating pages using Notion’s current features.

​

Step 1: Open the Page to Duplicate

​

Navigate to the page you want to duplicate. This could be a page within your Workspace, a database entry, a personal project, or a shared page from a team member.

​

Step 2: Access the Duplicate Option

​

With the page open, click the three-dot menu icon (often labeled as More Options) located at the top right of the page. From the dropdown menu, select the Duplicate option. This instructs Notion to create a replica of the current page.

​

Step 3: Configure Duplicated Page Settings

​

When you select Duplicate, a configuration panel might appear—especially if the page belongs to a database. Here you can customize a few options:

​

1. Location: Decide where the duplicated page should reside within your Workspace or database.
2. Content Options:  

   – Full Page: Duplicates everything, including sub-pages, linked databases, embedded media, and formatting elements.  

   – Page Content Only: Copies only the main content, excluding sub-pages while preserving text and media.

​

Remember, any modifications made to the duplicated page will not affect the original, as they are fully independent versions.

​

Step 4: Save and Access the Duplicated Page

​

After adjusting your settings, click the Duplicate button. Notion will create a copy of the page according to your specifications. The duplicated page generally opens in a new tab, allowing you to begin editing or customizing it immediately.

Tips and Tricks for Duplicating Pages

​

1. Utilize Duplicated Pages as Templates:  

   Duplicated pages are excellent for building a personal or team knowledge base. Create a well-organized page with formatted text, embedded media, tables, and other content. Save it as a template. Then, whenever you need the same layout, simply duplicate this template to maintain consistency and save time.

​

1. Duplicate Pages from Databases:  

   If your pages are organized within a database or gallery view, open the specific page you want to duplicate and use the Duplicate option from within it. Note that Notion currently does not support batch duplication directly from the sidebar for standard pages, so each page must be duplicated individually if not using a database context.

​

1. Customize Duplicated Pages:  

   After duplication, modify the content as needed. Update text, reorganize sections, add or remove media, or apply new formatting options to tailor the page for different projects or team members.

Conclusion

Duplicating pages within Notion is a straightforward yet powerful function that boosts productivity by saving time and ensuring consistency. By following these updated steps, you can quickly create replicas of your pages, adjust settings to meet your requirements, and collaborate seamlessly. Whether you are using duplicated pages as templates, working within databases, or customizing them for various projects, Notion’s duplication capability remains an essential tool for streamlining your workflow.
