Duplicating a workspace helps Workspace Admins quickly create a new workspace using the same structure, settings, and configurations from an existing one. This is ideal when setting up multiple workspaces with similar configurations, categories, or accounting connections.

# FAQ
56+
57+
## Does duplicating a workspace copy approval workflows?
58+
Yes. If you select **Workflows** when duplicating, all approval steps and settings from the original workspace will carry over.
59+
60+
## Can I change which workspace settings are copied after duplication?
61+
No. Once the new workspace is created, you’ll need to manually adjust any settings you didn’t include during duplication.
62+
63+
## Does duplicating a workspace affect the original one?
64+
No. The original workspace remains unchanged. Duplication creates a separate, independent workspace with the settings you selected.
65+
66+
## Can I rename or delete a duplicated workspace later?
67+
Yes. You can rename or delete any workspace at any time under **Workspaces > Settings > Workspace Info**.
