How to duplicate a board

Duplicating a board creates an independent copy with all the same content. This is useful for creating templates or giving each student their own version of a board.

Steps to duplicate

1. Open the board you want to copy, or find it on the home page.
2. Click the three-dot menu.
3. Select Make a copy.
4. Optionally rename the copy (the default name is “Copy of [original name]”).
5. Choose whether to share with the same people as the original board.
6. Click Copy to create the duplicate.

You’ll be redirected to the new board automatically.

Tips

• Use this to create a template board and then duplicate it for each class or group.
• If you share a board link with the ?copy parameter, visitors will be prompted to make their own copy when they open it.
