| 8 | +# How to duplicate a report |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +You can create a copy of an existing report and all of its non-card expenses using **Duplicate report**. This generates a new report with copies of the original report's expenses, including each expense's merchant, amount, category, tags, and tax. Expense dates are set to today and receipt images are not copied. |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +This is useful when you need to recreate a similar set of expenses — for example, recurring monthly reports — without re-entering each expense manually. |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +**Note:** Card expenses, Expensiworks expenses, and incomplete transactions are not included in the duplicate. |
| 15 | + |

| 34 | +## What happens after you duplicate a report |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +A new report is created with the name **"Copy of [Original report name]"**. |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +- If you still have access to the workspace the original report is on, the new report is created on that workspace. |
| 39 | +- If you no longer have access to that workspace, the new report is created on your primary workspace. |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +Each non-card expense on the original report is copied to the new report with the following details: |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +- Merchant |
| 44 | +- Amount and currency |
| 45 | +- Category |
| 46 | +- Tags |
| 47 | +- Tax |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +The following details are **not** copied: |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +- **Date** is set to today instead of the original date |
| 52 | +- **Receipt images** are not included on the duplicate expenses |
| 53 | +- **Card expenses** (company cards and Expensify Cards) are skipped |
| 54 | +- **Expensiworks expenses** are skipped |
| 55 | +- **Incomplete transactions** are skipped |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +If the original expense's coding (such as categories or tags) is not available on the destination workspace, the duplicate expense will still be created. You will be prompted to correct the coding on the expense. |
