How to Duplicate a Squarespace Site

A step-by-step guide to create an exact copy of your Squarespace site while preserving its content and design.

Before duplicating your site, ensure it meets these requirements:

• Has fewer than 100 pages
• Is not using the Developer Platform
• Is not a parking page
• Is not a discontinued cover page
• Is not an Acuity Scheduling client booking page

To duplicate your site:

1. Access your account dashboard
2. Click the [...] menu next to the site you want to duplicate
3. Select [Duplicate Site]

Your duplicated site will appear first in your dashboard with "(Copy)" added to the title. The new site starts as a free trial and requires upgrading to a paid plan when ready.

What Gets Duplicated:

• Pages, sections, and layouts
• Collection items
• Site title and logo
• Language and regional settings
• Style settings and template
• Text content
• Code injections
• Temporary contributors

What Doesn't Transfer:

• Domain subscriptions
• Email campaigns
• Audio files
• Blog comments
• Stock images
• Sales settings
• Third-party integrations
• Analytics
• Member sites (disabled but pages preserved)

Important Notes:

• Duplicating doesn't affect the original site
• Changes to the copy won't sync with the original
• URL slugs will have additional characters
• Manual updates needed for temporary contributors on collection items

Member Sites: If your original site has member areas, they'll be disabled in the copy. Member pages move to the [Unlinked] section. To restore member functionality:

1. Subscribe to a plan with member sites
2. Enable member sites
3. Move pages from [Unlinked] to [Member Site] section

The duplication process may take time depending on your site's size. Contact Squarespace support if you encounter any errors during duplication.
