To duplicate a page in Google Docs, use the ‘Make a Copy’ feature under the File menu, or copy-paste the text into a new document. This simple process allows for easy editing and sharing of document content.
When you only want a copy of one page inside a larger document, insert a page break and lift just the content from that section. It works well for building reusable templates, or for reusing a specific part of your document without spawning a separate file. Keep the original document open in another tab so you can compare both versions as you make changes.
Step 1
Open the Google Docs document that contains the page you want to duplicate.
Step 2
Go to ‘File’ > ‘Make a Copy’ to initiate the duplication process.
Step 3
Now you will see a popup. Under the Name tab, enter a title for the duplicate page. You can also select the folder location where you want to save the page.
Step 4
When you’re done, click “Make a Copy.” You’ve successfully duplicated a page in Google Docs!
Another way to copy the contents of a page is to select all the text (Ctrl+A) and use the shortcut Ctrl+C to copy it. Then, create a new Google Doc from File > New Document. Then paste the text into the new document (Ctrl+V).
Making a copy of a page in Google Docs takes only a moment once you know where to look. After running through the steps above, you’ll have a working duplicate ready to edit or share with anyone you choose.
