Site duplication in Squarespace allows you to create an exact copy of your existing site's content and design. The process is straightforward but has some limitations and specific considerations.

Limitations:

• Cannot duplicate sites with over 100 pages
• Not available for Developer Platform sites
• Doesn't work with parked pages
• Not available for suspended Cover Page plans
• Excludes Acuity Scheduling pages

To duplicate a site:

1. Open your account Dashboard
2. Click the ... menu next to the site you want to copy
3. Select "Duplicate Website"

The new copy will:

• Appear first in your Dashboard
• Include "(Copy)" in the title
• Start with a free trial period

What transfers to the new site:

• Pages, sections, layouts, and blocks
• Code injection settings
• Collection items
• Site title and logo
• Language and regional settings
• Style settings
• Template
• Text content
• Base authors (Permissions panel only)

What doesn't transfer:

• Domain subscriptions
• Email campaigns
• Audio files
• Blog comments
• Deleted content
• Uploaded files via link editor
• Stock images
• Unused Resource Library items
• Saved sections
• Sales data
• Third-party integrations
• Analytics
• Billing information
• Collaborator permissions

For Membership Sites:

• Membership features will be inactive
• Pages move to Unlinked section
• Requires new subscription to reactivate
• Manual page reorganization needed

Important notes:

• Duplicating doesn't affect the original site
• Changes between sites don't sync
• Collection item URLs get additional characters
• Base authors need manual reassignment to collection items
• URL slugs may need manual updates

The duplicated site requires a paid subscription to continue after the trial period ends.
