How to duplicate products or copy them to another project

Duplicate a product to create a variation, such as a different finish, or copy it to another project.

Written by Gail Esterhuyse

Use Duplicate to make a copy in the same project. You can then change the copy without entering all the product details again. For example, duplicate a chair to specify a different finish.

Use Copy to… to add a copy to another project. If you need the same product in another room, allocate the existing product to that room.
