How to Duplicate a Tab

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

  1. Right-click the tab name at the bottom of your sheet.
  2. Select Duplicate.
  3. 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

  1. 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.
  2. Right-click on one of the selected tabs.
  3. Choose “Duplicate” in the menu. The tabs will copied to the current workbook (file).
