Duplicate a page

Make a copy of an existing page as a starting point for a new one. You can copy just the page's layout, or also copy its data tables so the new page keeps its own separate records.

Before you start

You need access to your app's Customize tab (usually a team admin).
The page you want to copy must be open on the canvas.

Steps

Open the page you want to copy

In the editor, select Application on the far-left rail and choose the page in the Pages list. It opens on the canvas.

Select Duplicate

In the bar above the canvas, select Duplicate (Duplicate this page). The Duplicate Page window opens. While it loads the current page you see Loading current page.

Name the copy

Page name is filled in with the current page's name followed by Copy. Change it if you like. Route path, the new page's address inside the app, is filled in to match the name. It must be unique; you can edit it.

Choose what to copy

Use the Frontend code only switch:

On: copies the page's layout only. The copy shows the same data as the original page.
Off (the default): also copies the data layer, so the new page gets its own tables and can be changed independently.

If the page has no data tables that can be copied, the switch stays on and can't be changed.

Adjust the copied data tables

With Frontend code only off, a Data tables section lists each table that will be copied. For each one you can:

Enter a new name for the copied table.
Give fields a new label (leave it blank to keep the original).
Remove a field from the copy (Remove from the copy), or bring it back (Keep this field).
Select Add field to add a new field, giving it a name and type.

Names may only use letters, numbers and underscores, and must be unique. A message appears under any name that needs fixing.

Create the copy

Select Duplicate. A progress message shows each step while the copy is made and your app rebuilds. When it finishes you see Page duplicated — MFE reloaded (or Page duplicated), and the new page appears in the Pages list.
