Sometimes you just need to reuse a Notion page without building it from scratch. Maybe it’s a weekly planner, a client project template, or a content calendar that already works perfectly. Instead of rebuilding every time, you can simply duplicate the page.
In this guide, you’ll learn how to duplicate a page in Notion; step-by-step for desktop and mobile. We’ll also cover how duplication works for shared pages and templates so you can organize your workspace smarter and save time.
Let’s get started.
How to Duplicate a Page in Notion
Method 1: Using the Page Menu
Open the Notion page you want to duplicate. Click the three-dot icon (⋯) in the top-right corner to open the options menu. Select “Duplicate” from the dropdown list.
Notion presents two options: “Duplicate with content” or “Duplicate without content”. Choose “with content” to copy everything—text, images, databases, and sub-pages. Select “without content” to create an empty copy with just the page structure.
The duplicate appears instantly in the same folder as the original. Notion adds “(1)” to the file name to differentiate it from the source page .
Method 2: Quick Duplication from Sidebar
Find the page in your left sidebar. Hover over the page name until you see the three-dot icon appear next to it. Click that icon and select “Duplicate”.
This method works faster when you’re navigating multiple pages and don’t want to open each one individually.
Method 3: Keyboard Shortcut
Press Ctrl+D (Windows) or Cmd+D (Mac) while viewing any page. Notion duplicates it immediately without opening any menus.
Tip: When you duplicate a page that contains subpages, databases, or content blocks, Notion copies everything inside — a full clone of your setup.
Can You Duplicate a Page in Notion on Mobile?
Yes, the mobile app supports duplication too. To do this, open the page you want to duplicate and tap the three dots (•••) in the top-right corner. Then scroll down and select Duplicate. A new copy of the page will instantly appear in your workspace, and you can rename or move it anywhere, just like you would on desktop.
How to Duplicate Shared or Team Pages
If you’re working in a shared workspace or team account, you might not always have permission to duplicate a page. If the Duplicate option is grayed out, it means the page owner hasn’t enabled copying.
To fix this:
Ask the page owner to turn on “Allow duplicate as template” in the page’s share settings.
Once enabled, you’ll be able to make your own copy of the shared page without changing the original.
Pro Tip: This is great for reusing shared templates like onboarding docs, meeting notes, or project outlines across your team.
How Can I Turn Duplicated Pages Into Templates?
Duplicating isn’t just for copying; it’s the key to building your own template system in Notion.
Here’s an easy way to do it:
Create one “master” version of your page (like a project tracker).
When you start something new, duplicate that page.
Rename and adjust it for your next project or client.
You can also group your favorite templates into a Template Hub so your team can quickly find and duplicate them whenever needed.
Why can't I Duplicate a Page in Notion?
Sometimes the duplicate option doesn’t show up if you don’t have edit access or permission to the page. Check if it’s shared with view-only access also, if you’re in a restricted workspace, some pages can’t be copied for privacy reasons. Ask the admin to give you full access, then you’ll see the duplicate button again

Yes, all databases, properties, and content inside will duplicate exactly as they are.
Can others duplicate my Notion page?
