# 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 creates a new report with copies of all non-card expenses from the original, 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 such as recurring monthly reports.
13+
14+
If you only need to duplicate specific expenses, [learn how to duplicate an expense](/articles/new-expensify/reports-and-expenses/How-to-Duplicate-an-Expense).

## What happens after you duplicate a report
39+
40+
A new report is created with the name **"Copy of [Original report name]"**.
41+
42+
- If you still have access to the Workspace the original report is on, the new report is created on that workspace.
43+
- If you no longer have access to that Workspace, the new report is created on your primary Workspace.
44+
45+
Each non-card expense on the original report is copied to the new report with the following details:
46+
47+
- Merchant
48+
- Amount and currency
49+
- Category
50+
- Tags
51+
- Tax
52+
53+
The following details are **not** copied:
54+
55+
- Date is set to today instead of the original date
56+
- Receipt images are not included on the duplicate expenses
57+
- Card expenses (company cards and Expensify Cards) are not copied
58+
- Per diem and distance expenses are not copied when the new report is created in a different Workspace than the original

# FAQ
63+
64+
## Can I duplicate multiple reports at once?
65+
66+
No. Reports must be duplicated one at a time.
67+
68+
## Are card expenses included in the duplicate?
69+
70+
No. Only non-card expenses are copied. Expenses from company cards or Expensify Cards are skipped.
71+
72+
## Does the duplicate include receipt images?
73+
74+
No. Receipt images are not copied to the duplicate expenses. You will need to attach new receipts if required.
75+
76+
## Why is the Duplicate report option not showing in the More menu?
77+
78+
**Duplicate report** only appears on reports that you created. If you are viewing someone else's report, you will not see this option.
