To duplicate a Squarespace site effectively, follow these essential steps and guidelines:

Duplication Limitations:

• Sites must have fewer than 100 pages
• Cannot duplicate Developer Platform sites, retired fonts, parking pages
• Not available for Cover Page plans or Acuity Scheduling pages
• Changes to duplicated sites don't affect the original

How to Duplicate a Site:

1. Access your Account Dashboard
2. Click the "..." menu next to the desired site
3. Select "Duplicate Website"
4. Wait for the duplicate to appear (marked with "Copy")

What Gets Duplicated:

• Pages, sections, layouts, and blocks
• Code injections
• Collection items
• Site title and logo
• Language and regional settings
• Style settings
• Template
• Text content
• Basic authors (permissions only)

What Doesn't Transfer:

• Add-on features and subscriptions
• Audio files from audio blocks
• Blog comments
• Demo content or deleted items
• Uploaded files from link editor
• Stock images
• Unused Asset library content
• Saved sections
• Selling settings
• Third-party integrations
• Website-specific settings

Member Sites Handling:

• Member Sites feature disables on the duplicate
• Member pages move to "not linked" section
• Requires new Member Sites subscription to reactivate

Important Notes:

• Duplicated site starts as a free trial
• URL slugs get additional characters
• Basic authors need manual reassignment
• Original site remains unchanged
• Domain management requires separate setup

This process is ideal for creating new sites using existing structures while maintaining independent content and settings.
