# Duplicate an item

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

#### Open the source item

Click **OPEN** on the item you want to copy.

#### Open the action menu

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

#### Click Duplicate

Select **Duplicate** from the menu.

#### Choose locale scope (multi-locale sites)

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

#### 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 and generates a unique slug for the copy. You do not need to change 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, just as you do when you [create a new item](/create-new-item). You cannot add the duplicate to additional locales later.

See [Locale-scoped actions](/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 the field values, especially the name and slug, before publishing.

## Duplicate multiple items

To copy several items at once, enter [select mode](/bulk-actions), choose the items, and click **Duplicate**.
