How to Duplicate a Page in Notion (2026 Guide)
Notion duplication looks simple but has a few quirks worth knowing. Duplicating your own page makes a full copy. The template gallery has its own flow that copies entire workspaces of pages at once. Database pages get a special “Duplicate without content” option. And moving copies between workspaces uses the Move to menu rather than a direct duplicate.
Here’s how to handle each scenario.
1. Duplicate Your Own Page
The basic case, make a copy of a page that’s already in your workspace.
From the page itself
- Open the page.
- Click the ••• menu in the top-right.
- Select Duplicate.
The copy appears immediately below the original in the same parent location, with the title prefixed Copy of. Edit the title and you’re set.
From the sidebar
- Right-click the page name in the sidebar.
- Select Duplicate from the context menu.
- The copy lands in the same place.
What gets copied
- Page content (text, blocks, embeds, mentions).
- Subpages (recursive, full subtree).
- Databases inside the page (as new databases, not linked).
- Properties on database pages.
What doesn’t get copied
- Comments: the duplicate starts comment-free.
- Page history: only the current state.
- Sharing settings: the duplicate inherits permissions from its new parent.
- Mentions of pages outside the duplicate still point to the original target (not a duplicated copy).
Tip: Keyboard shortcut, select a page in the sidebar and press Cmd/Ctrl + D to duplicate.
2. Duplicate Without Content
This option only appears on database pages (rows inside a database). It copies the page’s structure, properties, page templates, layout, without the body.
Use case
You have a project template page that contains a kickoff checklist, meeting log, and risk register. You want a new project with the same structure but blank fields.
Steps
- Open the database page.
- Click the ••• menu in the top-right.
- Hover over Duplicate.
- Select Duplicate without content from the submenu.
The new row in the database has the same property fields filled in (or empty), the same page template structure, but no text in the body. You then fill in the blanks for the new project.
Note: If you don’t see this option, you’re probably on a regular page rather than a database row. Regular pages only get Duplicate.
3. Duplicate from the Notion Template Gallery
Notion’s template gallery has thousands of community and Notion-built templates. Adding one is a duplication into your workspace.
Steps
- Go to notion.com/templates.
- Browse by category (Work, School, Personal, Productivity) or search.
- Click a template to preview it.
- Click Get template (or Duplicate template on some templates).
- If you’re not signed in, sign in.
- Choose the destination workspace from the dropdown.
- Click Duplicate.
The template, including every subpage and embedded database, copies into your sidebar under the Private section by default. Drag it to a teamspace if you want to share it.
Duplicating from a publicly published page
If someone shares a link to a published Notion page that has duplicating enabled, you can copy it the same way:
- Open the public link.
- Click Duplicate in the top-right.
- Pick a destination workspace.
- Click Duplicate.
If the Duplicate button is missing, the page owner has disabled duplication in the page’s publish settings.
4. Duplicate to Another Workspace
You can’t duplicate directly into a different workspace, but you can move a duplicate, which gets you the same result.
Method 1: Duplicate first, then move
- Right-click the page in the sidebar and select Duplicate.
- Right-click the duplicate and select Move to.
- In the Move to dialog, click the workspace dropdown.
- Pick the destination workspace (you must be a member of it).
- Choose the destination parent page.
- Click Move.
Method 2: Move directly (no copy retained)
- Right-click the page and select Move to.
- Pick the destination workspace and parent.
- Click Move.
This relocates the original instead of copying it. Use Method 1 if you want to keep the page in the source workspace too.
What transfers
- Page content and all subpages.
- Databases (as new databases in the destination).
- File attachments and images (re-uploaded to the destination workspace’s storage).
What doesn’t transfer
- Comments are dropped on the move.
- Page history is reset.
- Mentions of pages in the source workspace become broken links, they still show the page title but won’t resolve.
- Permissions are inherited from the new parent, not the old one.
Note: Database Relations that point at databases in the source workspace will break. If you’re moving a database with relations, move all related databases together to keep links intact.
5. Bulk Duplicate Multiple Pages
Notion doesn’t have a native multi-select duplicate, but there’s a workaround.
- Create a parent page (e.g., “Templates to copy”).
- Move all the pages you want to duplicate underneath it.
- Duplicate the parent page. The duplicate includes every child.
- Drag the duplicated children back to where you want them.
- Delete the duplicated parent.
For databases, you can multi-select rows and use Duplicate from the right-click bulk-action menu.
Quick Reference
| Scenario | Method | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Copy a page in the same workspace | Duplicate | Page ••• menu or right-click |
| Copy a database row’s structure but not its content | Duplicate without content | Database row ••• menu |
| Add a Notion-built or community template | Get template | notion.com/templates |
| Copy a public page someone shared | Duplicate in top-right | The public page itself |
| Move a copy to another workspace | Duplicate then Move to | Sidebar right-click |
| Duplicate many pages at once | Wrap in a parent, duplicate parent | Manual workaround |
Which Method Should You Use?
- Need an exact copy of one of your pages? Use Duplicate from the ••• menu.
- Setting up a new instance of a templated database row? Use Duplicate without content to keep structure but reset the body.
- Starting from a community template? Browse the template gallery and duplicate from there, you get the full subtree, not just one page.
- Moving content between workspaces? Use Duplicate then Move to if you want to keep both copies, or Move to directly if you want the page only in the destination.
