# Duplicate a Form

Duplicating a form gives you a full copy to use as a starting point for a new form. This article covers what a copy includes and how to duplicate a form from the portal or the Form Builder.

## How duplicating works

A copy includes the form's settings, fields, rules, lookup mappings, workflows, and report templates. It doesn't include the original form's submissions or version history.

The copy gets the original name followed by *Copy*, for example *Work Order Copy*. If that name is taken, a number is added. The copy starts at Version 1, and changes to it don't affect the original form.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> Each copy counts toward the number of forms your account can have. If you've reached the limit, you can't duplicate the form.

## Duplicate a form from the portal

1. In the portal, go to **Forms** > **My Forms**.
2. Search for your form.
3. Select **Actions**, then select **Duplicate Form**.

FastField makes the copy right away and shows *Duplication Complete*. The copy appears in your list of forms.

## Duplicate a form in the Form Builder

1. With the form open in the Form Builder, select **Actions** in the toolbar at the bottom of the canvas.
2. Select **Duplicate Form**.

The copy opens in the Form Builder, ready for you to edit.

> [!NOTE]

> Unsaved changes aren't part of the copy. Select **Save Draft** first if you want them in the copy.

> The Assistant can't duplicate a whole form. It can duplicate pages, sections, and fields within a form.
