Duplicate a project

Available for:

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.

You can easily change the name of a duplicated project at any time.

What is duplicated

  • Project name and color

FAQ

Is it possible to duplicate several projects at once?

Will my duplicated projects sync? I.e. if I make a change in the main project, will the same change occur in the duplicated project?
