​

Duplicating pages within Notion is a valuable feature that lets you clone an existing page and create a new one based on the same structure. This saves you from recreating similar pages from scratch—ideal for managing personal projects, collaborating with a team, or organizing your workflow. In this article, we explore the updated steps and best practices for duplicating pages within Notion.

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

Step 1: Open the Page to Duplicate

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

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

​

Step 2: Access the Duplicate Option

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

Once the page is 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 action instructs Notion to create a replica of the current page.

Step 3: Configure Duplicated Page Settings

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

After selecting Duplicate, a configuration panel may appear (especially if the page belongs to a database). Here you can adjust a few settings:

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

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

​

​

​

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

​

​

​

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

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

Any modifications you make to the duplicate page will not affect the original page since they are fully independent.

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

Step 4: Save and Access the Duplicated Page

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

After configuring your duplicate settings, click the Duplicate button. Notion will then create a copy of the page based on your specifications. The duplicated page typically opens in a new tab, letting you start editing or customizing it right away.

Tips and Tricks for Duplicating Pages

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

1. Utilize Duplicated Pages as Templates:

​

​

​

Duplicated pages work great when building a personal or team knowledge base. Create a well-organized page with formatted text, embedded media, tables, and other content, then save it as a template. Each time you need a similar layout, duplicate this template to ensure consistency and save time.

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

1. Duplicate Pages from Databases:

​

​

​

If your pages are organized within a database or gallery view, open the page you want to duplicate and use the Duplicate option from within it. Note that Notion currently does not support batch duplications directly from the sidebar for standard pages. You’ll need to duplicate each page individually if not working within a database context.

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

1. Customize Duplicated Pages:

​

​

​

After duplicating a page, feel free to modify its content. Adjust text, reorganize sections, add or remove media, or apply new formatting options to tailor the page to the specific needs of different projects or team members.
