Here's the concise, search-optimized version:

A website duplication creates an exact copy of your Squarespace site's design and content. This feature helps you create a new website while maintaining the structure of an existing one.

Important Limitations:

• Cannot duplicate sites with over 100 pages
• Not available for developer platform sites
• Won't work with cover page subscriptions
• Excludes Acuity Scheduling appointment pages
• Placeholder pages can't be duplicated

Step-by-Step Duplication Process:

1. Access your account dashboard
2. Click the three dots (…) next to the desired website
3. Select "Duplicate Website"
4. Wait for the copy to generate (appears with "(Copy)" in title)

What Gets Copied:

• Pages, sections, and layouts
• Style settings and template
• Site title and logo
• Collection items
• Code injection settings
• Website languages
• Text content
• Simple authors (permissions only)

What Doesn't Transfer:

• Domain subscriptions
• Email campaigns
• Audio files
• Blog comments
• Licensed images
• Content library items
• Sales settings
• Third-party integrations
• Analytics settings
• Payment configurations

Membership Sites:

• Membership features are disabled in the duplicate
• Pages move to "Not Linked" section
• Require new membership subscription
• Need manual setup in duplicated site

Post-Duplication Steps:

1. Update URL slugs if needed
2. Reassign authors to collection content
3. Set up new integrations
4. Configure website-specific settings
5. Upgrade from trial when ready

Remember: The duplicate site starts as a free trial and changes made to either site won't sync with the other. To simply change your website address, add a new domain instead of duplicating the site.
