## Copy space configuration
**Copy space** is a one-off copy of the content of the current space to a target space.
A target space must be set in the **Copy space dashboard** before copying the space to the target space.
The **Copy space dashboard** allows configuration of the content that is copied to the target space using the **Copy space** option
- the content type (pages, blogposts or both)
- the page content (page properties, labels)
> đź“ť The space tools **Copy space** menu option and the Copy space dashboard are only available if the space is listed as enabled for publishing and copying in the [global space publishing configuration dashboard](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/AHP/pages/649562904).
