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
