Duplicating Items

Duplicate one item, multiple items, or items from the Library, within the same project or into a new one.

Written by Scottie Elliott

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.
