Duplicating a Squarespace site copies your existing site's content and design to create a fresh instance. Follow these steps to duplicate your site effectively:

Limitations:

• Cannot duplicate sites with over 100 pages
• Not available for Developer Platform sites
• Won't work with Parking pages, Cover Page plans, or Acuity Scheduling pages

To Duplicate Your Site:

1. Access your Account Dashboard
2. Click ... on the site you want to copy
3. Select "Duplicate Site"
4. Wait for the copy to generate (appears first in Account panel with "(Copy)" suffix)

What Gets Copied:

• Pages, sections, layouts, and blocks
• Collection items
• Site title and logo
• Language and region settings
• Style settings and template
• Text content
• Code insertions
• Basic authors (permissions only)

What Doesn't Transfer:

• Subscriptions and domains
• Audio files
• Blog comments
• Deleted content
• Stock images
• Unused Resource Library items
• Sales settings
• Third-party integrations
• Analytics and billing info
• Collaborator permissions

Member Areas:

• Disabled in duplicated site
• Pages move to unlinked section
• Must resubscribe and enable Member Areas
• Manually reorganize member pages

Important Notes:

• Duplicating doesn't affect the original site
• Changes in the copy don't sync with original
• New site starts on free trial
• URL slugs need manual updates
• Basic authors must be reassigned to collection items

If you encounter errors during duplication, contact Squarespace support for assistance.
