Creating & duplicating items

Duplicate an item

Copy an existing CMS item with its field values
View as Markdown

Duplicate creates a copy of an existing item with the same field values. Wicked CMS automatically resolves a unique slug for the new item.

Duplicate an item

1

Open the source item

Click OPEN on the item you want to copy.

2

Open the action menu

Click the ⋮ button in the item sheet sidebar, next to the Publish button.

3

Click Duplicate

Select Duplicate from the menu.

4

Choose locale scope (multi-locale sites)

If prompted, choose Current locale only or All locales for the duplicate.

5

Edit and save the copy

The detail sheet opens with the duplicated item’s fields. Edit as needed, then Save or Publish.

What gets copied

Duplicate copies all field data from the source item. The new item gets a unique slug automatically — you do not need to manually adjust the slug to avoid conflicts.

Locale scope

On multi-locale sites, you choose whether the duplicate exists in the current locale only or in all locales — the same pattern as Create a new item. You cannot add the duplicate to additional locales later.

See Locale-scoped actions.

After duplicating

The duplicated item opens in the detail sheet as a new unsaved or draft item (depending on your next action). Review and update field values — especially name and slug — before publishing.

Next step

Publish an item when the duplicate is ready to go live.
