+When you need to create similar Epics or replicate an Epic's structure across projects, Plane allows you to duplicate existing Epics either within the same project or to different projects in your workspace.
+
+To duplicate an Epic, click the ••• menu in the Epic header and select Make a copy. You'll see two options:
+
+### Copy in same project
+Creates an identical Epic within the current project with all the same properties, description, and custom field values. The new Epic gets a fresh identifier and maintains the same title, description state, priority, start and due dates.
+
+### Copy in different project
+Duplicates the Epic to another project in your workspace that has Epics enabled. This is particularly useful when you have similar large-scale objectives across multiple projects or want to replicate Epics between projects. The copied Epic adapts to the destination project's identifier format and default state.

+When you need to create similar work items or replicate a work item's structure and properties, Plane lets you duplicate existing work items either within the same project or across different projects.
+
+To duplicate a work item, click the **•••** menu in the work item header and select **Make a copy**. You'll see two options:
+
+### Copy in same project
+Creates an identical work item within the current project with all the same properties, description, and settings. The new work item gets a fresh identifier and maintains the same title, description, state, and priority attributes.
+
+### Copy in different project
+Duplicates the work item to another project in your workspace. This is particularly useful when you have similar tasks across multiple projects or want to move work items between teams. The copied work item adapts to the destination project's identifier format and default state.
+
+Duplicating work items is perfect for replicating recurring tasks, or moving work between project phases while maintaining all the essential context and settings.

 ## Add relations
 
 You can also set up relations and dependencies between work items using the **Relations** property. These relationships help clarify how work items are interconnected and how the completion of one task might affect another.
