In Google Sheets, you can have multiple tabs – think of them as different pages within a single file. Each tab at the bottom is called a sheet.
Some templates are easier to use if you duplicate a tab instead of creating a whole new file. For example:
- Weekly Planner → 1 tab for every week’s planning
- Project Timeline Planner → 1 tab for every project’s timeline
Duplicating tabs keeps everything in one place and makes it easier to refer back to previous plans.
Steps to Duplicate a Tab
- Right-click the tab name at the bottom of your sheet.
- Select Duplicate.
- A new tab will appear with the same content with the word “Copy” in the name.
Tip: We recommend renaming the new tab right away to stay organized. Just double-click the tab name to edit it.
Steps to Duplicate Multiple Tabs Together
- Select all tabs you want to duplicate:
- Hold Ctrl (Windows) / Cmd (Mac) and click each tab one by one.
- Or, click the first tab, hold Shift, then click the last tab to select everything in between.
- Right-click on one of the selected tabs.
- Choose “Duplicate” in the menu. The tabs will copied to the current workbook (file).
