There are a few ways to duplicate items in Gather, depending on whether you're copying one item or many, and where you're starting from.
🧭 Trying to copy an entire project, not just items? See Can I Copy or Duplicate an Entire Project? for the full project-copy workflow, including how teams use template projects to save setup time.
💡 The Actions menu needs at least one item selected to activate. If it's grayed out, select something first.
Duplicate one item from within
Step 1: Open the item you want to duplicate.
Step 2: In the upper-right corner, click the Actions dropdown and choose Duplicate.
Step 3: Pick the destination Project and Area.
Step 4: Click the green Duplicate button. Wait for the processing indicator to turn green.
Duplicate multiple items from a project
Works the same way in both Grid View and Spreadsheet View.
Step 1: Select the items you want to duplicate. See Selecting Items if you need a refresher.
Grid View:
Spreadsheet View:
Step 2: Open the Actions dropdown and choose Duplicate.
Step 3: Choose the destination Project and Area, then click the green Duplicate button.
Step 4: A status indicator appears in the lower-left corner while items process.
Blue: duplication in progress
Green: duplication complete
🛑 Batch size matters. Duplicate in groups of 30 items or fewer for best results. Wait for the indicator to turn green before starting another batch. If a job takes longer than 5 minutes for fewer than 30 items, reach out via in-app chat.
Duplicate from the Library
The Library lets you duplicate one item at a time into any project.
Step 1: Open the Library.
Step 2: Find the item you want, using filters like Types or search.
Step 3: Open the item, click Actions, and choose Duplicate.
Step 4: Pick the destination Project and Area, then click the green Duplicate button.
📝 Only one item at a time from the Library. To duplicate multiple items, work from within a project using the steps above.
