I find it particularly useful for creating backups and ensuring that my data is secure.
In this guide, I'll explain you how to duplicate databases in Notion, both on desktop and mobile versions.
Step-by-Step Guide to Duplicating a Database in Notion
Desktop Version
- 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.
- Duplicate the Database: Click the 3-dot icon next to the subpage in the sidebar to access the context menu.
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.
- Edit the Duplicated Database: after duplicating, the new database appears inline with the original. Rename and modify this database as needed.
