At this time, there isn't a direct way to duplicate an entire project in one click. However, you can build a new project by duplicating items from an existing project into a newly created one. Many teams use a "base template project" for this purpose; it saves time and keeps projects consistent.
How to Duplicate Items into a New Project
Step 1: Create a new project
Click the + icon in Gather to create a new project.
Step 2: Set up your areas
In the new project, use the right-side menu where it says "New area name…" to recreate the areas where your items will go.
Step 3: Select items in your template project
Open your original project in Grid view or Spreadsheet view.
Select the items you want to copy using the checkboxes in the top-left corner of each item.
You can also use the "Select All in Area" option to quickly select every item within a specific area.
⚠️ Note: Choosing "Select All" (for the entire project) will move all items to the single destination area you choose. Double-check that you've selected the correct option before duplicating to ensure your items go to the right areas.
Step 4: Duplicate items into the new project
Once the items are selected, go to the Actions dropdown and select Duplicate.
Choose your new project and the correct area as the destination.
Click the green Duplicate button.
Important Notes
Batch size: Duplicate items in small groups of 30 or fewer for best results.
Wait for processing: Watch the blue dots turn green before starting another batch.
Template projects: Many teams create a dedicated template project that can be reused for new projects, saving considerable setup time.
