# How-To: Duplicate a Dataiku Project[¶](https://knowledge.dataiku.com/latest/kb/governance/How-to-duplicate-a-DSS-project.html#how-to-duplicate-a-dataiku-project "Permalink to this headline")

In many situations, an existing project can serve as a useful template for a new project. Fortunately, it is very easy to duplicate a Dataiku project so you never need to manually replicate a Flow.

Whether you want to copy the project to the same or another instance, detailed instructions for duplicating a project can be found in the product documentation.

You can initiate this process from the project homepage or the Dataiku projects page.

## From the Project Homepage[¶](https://knowledge.dataiku.com/latest/kb/governance/How-to-duplicate-a-DSS-project.html#from-the-project-homepage "Permalink to this headline")

From the homepage of the project you want to copy, select **Actions > Duplicate project**. This will produce a dialog window through which you can edit the project name and key and specify a destination where the project should be copied.

You can also specify advanced options such as duplication mode (*should all of the data be duplicated or only the Flow?*) and any connections that may need to be re-mapped.

Another way to start the same process is, from the Projects page, right-clicking on the tile of the project to be copied and choosing **Duplicate project**.

* Visit the reference documentation for duplicating projects.

* Of course, if you only need to copy part of a project, it is also possible to copy individual Dataiku items, like datasets and recipes, rather than duplicate the entire project. You can even copy individual steps of a Prepare recipe.
