The Copy Space app allows users with create space permissions to duplicate a space along with its content and structure.
## Features
- Copy an entire space, including pages, page hierarchy, attachments, labels, templates, themes, settings, and properties.
- Optionally copy space permissions (or use defaults or make the new space private).
- Optionally, copy page permissions.
- The status bar gives real-time feedback on the progress of the job.
- Log that can be copied to the clipboard for troubleshooting.
- Ability to rename spaces and page titles.
> 📝 Copy Space does not copy page history, blog posts, email settings, space-level settings such as features, avatars, status, and convert page settings.
## Copy a space
1. Click **Space settings** in the left navigation bar.
2. Click the **Copy space** option under *Integrations*.
3. Enter a new name in the **New** **name** and a new key in the **New** **key** for the space. This will be the name and key for your new space.
4. Select **Permissions**. You can choose to
- ** Use Confluence's default space permissions**
- ** Use the original space's permissions **
- ** Use private space permissions **
5. Under **Page Title** **Options**, enter prefix so all copied pages have the title prefix.
6. Optionally, you can use the search and replace options so that the copied page titles will use these to search for or replace the matches entered here.
7. Under **Page options**, select the required options to copy to your new space. You can copy:
- page permissions
- attachments
- labels
- properties
Note that, the page history, blog posts, and email are excluded while copying the space.
8. Click **Copy **to copy the space.
The copy space app also lets you copy logs to the clipboard for troubleshooting purposes.
9. Refer to the status bar for real-time feedback on the copy progress.
## Permissions
To copy the space, you must be in a group with the **Create Space** permission enabled. Please contact your site administrator to enable the permissions.
> ⚠️ The user who copies the space gets full permissions in the new copy.
> ⚠️
> ⚠️ However, if the user who copies the space is an administrator and selects the **Use the *****original***** space's permissions** option, the **All **>** Delete Own** and **Mail **>** Delete** permissions are not set for any group or user in the new copy. This is an Atlassian bug. You can set these permissions manually after the copy.
## Limitations
The current version of the Copy Space app has a copy limit of 2000 pages and a time limit of 30 minutes. This page and time limit were set to gauge traffic. If you need a larger copy allotment, please submit a [support request](https://artemis.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/3/group/-1).
> ℹ️ - Unless you have many attachments, a space with 2000 pages should copy in 15 to 20 minutes.
> ℹ️ - The operation will likely time out if you have more than ~10,000 attachments but less than 2000 pages. The copy will still be complete, though the final stage will not be done. Your space will be missing a home page; instead, it will have a placeholder there, and an *[ in progress ]* text will be shown before the being of your space.
> ℹ️ - If your space meets these conditions, you can either perform a simple clean-up later or raise a support request to extend the timeout.
