Copying Google Sheets

Duplicating via the File Menu

Copying directly from the file allows you to save it in the desired folder and assign a new name.

• Open the Google Sheets document you want to copy;
• In the top menu, click File → Make a copy;
• In the dialog box that appears, enter a new name for the document copy and choose a folder to save it if needed;
• Click Make a copy to create a copy of the document.

Duplicating via Google Drive

This allows you to create a duplicate without opening the document.

• Go to Google Drive at drive.google.com;
• Find the Google Sheets file you want to copy;
• Right-click on the file and select Make a copy from the context menu;
• The document copy will appear in your Google Drive root folder. Move it to the desired folder if needed.
