Copying a site
You can create a new site by copying an existing one. This feature can save you the effort of manually configuring the new site. You can copy a site’s configuration or a site’s configuration and its content.
Note
Copying a large number of items can temporarily degrade your site’s performance. Copy no more than 500 items using the method described in this section.

- In the Name field, enter the new site’s name.
- In the URL field, enter the new site’s URL.
- If you want to copy the site’s settings as they appear in the Edit Site page, turn on Copy Site Settings.
Do one of the following:
- If you want to retain each copied item’s original timestamps and editors, toggle off Replace Publish Data.
