Duplicate Topics

There is a difference between copying and duplicating topics:

  • Copy is used for adding topic Forks to a publication, see Add Content to a Publication.

  • Duplicate creates a new topic with the same content and the same name as the original, with "copy" and a number added at the end. The duplicated topic has its own unique ID and is completely separated from the original topic.

    There is no content reuse with a duplicate, the same content is recreated. You can edit the copy and the content inside it without affecting the original topic.

Tip

If you want to create different versions of a topic, the Branching feature may be a better option. With branching, you can create a copy that can later be merged back into the original if needed.

To duplicate a topic:

  1. Select the dotted menu (...) in the Content Manager for the topic you want to duplicate.

  2. Select Duplicate. Copy_symbol.jpg
