Step-by-Step Guide to Duplicating a Database in Notion

Desktop Version

1. Navigate to the Notion Page: on the sidebar, navigate through the parent pages to locate the specific subpage that contains the database you want to duplicate.

Here, you'll encounter two options for duplication:

• Duplicate with Content: Selecting this option creates an exact replica of the database, including all its existing content.

• Duplicate without Content: This option duplicates the database structure but omits all the content, providing a clean template to work with.

After duplicating, if the new database isn't immediately visible, refresh the page to see the updated view.
