I. Intro

Notice: Instructions in this article apply to all document types in Feishu Docs, including Docs, Sheets, Slides, Base, MindNotes, and uploaded files.

When you cannot move a document to a new location, you can create a copy in the new location. 

The copy will include the contents of the original document and its set security level. However, it won't include the original comments, edit history, sharing settings, or permission settings. The sharing and permission settings of the copy depend on its location and your default settings.

Who can create copies and print?

Document owners or collaborators with manage permission.

Whether collaborators with view or edit permission can make a copy depends on the setting of Who can duplicate, print or download. For more information, see Set share, copy, download, and comment permissions for documents.

II. Steps 

There are three ways that you can create a copy of a Feishu document.

Note: You need to have edit permission for the location where you want to save the copy. If the storage location is a page in My Document Library or Wiki, then you need to have edit permission for that page and all its sub-pages at the same time. 

Method 1: From the document

Open a document and click the ··· icon in the upper-right corner > Make a Copy.

Modify the copy name as needed, choose where to store it, and click Confirm.

Method 2: In the folder

Open the folder where the original document is located, and click the ··· icon to the right of the document > Make a Copy.

Modify the copy name as needed, choose where to store it, and click Confirm.

Method 3: From the Docs homepage

Note: This method doesn't work on the Feishu mobile app.

Open the Docs homepage, or click Wiki and the cover of a wiki space.

In the table of contents to the left, click the ··· icon to the right of a document or wiki page > Make a Copy.

(Optional) For wiki pages with sub-pages, you can also select Duplicate sub-pages to make copies of the sub-pages together. Or you can click the Multi-selection icon above the table of contents to select multiple pages, then click the Make a Copy icon to create copies for the selected pages only.

Modify the copy name as needed, choose where to store it, and click Confirm.
