Duplicate a site easily by following these steps:

  1. Visit your Account Dashboard
  2. Click the site you want to duplicate, then click "..."
  3. Select "Duplicate Website"

The copied site will appear first in your Account panel with "(Copy)" added to its title. Processing time varies based on content volume.

Important Limitations:

  • Cannot duplicate sites with over 100 pages
  • Developer Platform sites cannot be duplicated
  • Parking pages are not eligible
  • Cover Page plan sites cannot be duplicated
  • Acuity Scheduling booking pages won't transfer

What Gets Copied:

  • Pages, sections, layouts, and blocks
  • Code injection settings
  • Collection items
  • Site title and logo
  • Language and region settings
  • Style settings
  • Template
  • Text content
  • Basic authors (but need manual reassignment)

What Doesn't Transfer:

  • Subscriptions and additional features
  • Audio files from audio blocks
  • Blog comments
  • Deleted or sample content
  • Uploaded files from link editor
  • Stock images
  • Unused Resource Library content
  • Saved sections
  • Sales data (orders, discounts, subscriptions)
  • Third-party integrations
  • Site-specific settings (Analytics, billing, contacts)
  • Collaborator permissions

Member Sites Notes:

  • Member Sites will be disabled in the duplicate
  • Member pages move to the unlinked section
  • To restore member sites:
    1. Subscribe to a plan with Member Sites
    2. Enable Member Sites
    3. Move pages from unlinked section to Member Sites section

The duplicated site starts with a free trial and requires upgrade for continued use. Remember that changes to the copied site don't sync with the original.

Contact Squarespace support if you encounter any duplication errors or issues.
