If your workflow includes recreating projects, or if you want to copy and share the same task list with different people, you can duplicate a project.
When you duplicate a project, Todoist quickly creates a copy of any existing project or sub-project. You'll see the words Copy of… added to the project name to help differentiate it from the original project, preventing mistakes.
These are what's included and not included when you duplicate a project:
| INCLUDED | NOT INCLUDED |
| Project name and color | Task reminders |
| Chosen view | Completed tasks and archived sections |
| Chosen sorting, grouping, or filtering options | Project and task comments |
| Active sections, tasks, and sub-tasks (with respective due dates, priorities and labels) | Favorites. Add the project as a favorite. |
| Sharing settings: a duplicated project is private by default. You can share it later. | |
| Sub-projects: you can duplicate them individually the same way as parent projects. |
You can easily change the name of a duplicated project at any time.
