## Summary

Duplicate creates a second site from one of yours in a single click, named after the original with (copy) at the end. Change the copy freely while the original stays as it was.

## Key facts

- A complete copy: Pages, files, database items, functions, email templates, variables and redirects are all copied, so the new site works the same way from the first minute.
- Tasks start paused: Scheduled tasks are copied too, but paused, so nothing runs twice by accident. Turn them on in the copy when you are ready.
- Its own address: The copy gets its own free address and starts unpublished, without the domains of the original, which stay untouched.

Copy a whole site and experiment without risk

## How it works

1. **Find the site**: Go to the Sites list on your dashboard, or open the site in Studio, and open the menu of the site you want to copy.
2. **Choose Duplicate**: Click Duplicate. The copy appears in your list with (copy) in its name, with its files, data and functions in place.
3. **Make it yours**: Rename the copy in Settings, change it with the AI or the editor, and publish it when it is ready.

## Frequently asked questions

### How do I duplicate a website?

Open the menu of the site in the Sites list or in Studio and choose Duplicate. A complete copy is created in your account, with a new free address and (copy) added to its name.

### Does duplicating copy the database and functions?

Yes. The copy gets the database collections and items, the functions, the email templates, the variables and the redirects. Scheduled tasks come across paused, and the chat history is not copied.

### Is a duplicated site on the same plan as the original?

Yes. The plan belongs to your account, so the copy has the same plan as all your other sites. It starts unpublished and without the domains of the original, so you connect a domain to it separately when it is ready.
