Duplicate a sheet from the workspace left navigation bar

May, 19, 2025
Users can now duplicate a sheet directly from the left navigation bar within a workspace. To do this, open the three-dot menu next to the sheet you want to duplicate and select Duplicate. You’ll have the option to rename the new sheet and choose a destination workspace—provided you have permission to create items in that workspace. Learn More.
Note: This initial release only duplicates sheet data. Customization options such as including or excluding attachments, comments, cell links, and other elements are not yet available but will be introduced in future updates.

@Lekshmi Unnithan this is an awesome and useful release, but until the formatting, formulas, https links, sheet links, etc.. are also included in that duplication, this wont be 100% useful. However, it may be useful for those who want a similar structure and same data but with a clean slate for visability, but for me, i prefer to have everything duplicated and dump what i dont need (faster than re-adding everything back in).
😀👏Thank you for this new "LIVE DRAFT"
(DRAFT = Until everything mentioned in this Note below 👇 is added & working 😀)

Hey @Julie Becker - Yes, I totally understand. Our teams are working on providing more customization options during sheet duplication in future updates. Stay tuned!

Nice! It'll be convenient to be able to duplicate right from the menu, especially once cell links and conditional formats are supported.
Hopefully it won't take too long to add support for the other customization options!
