If you wish to make a copy of a file/files rather than a reference, you can choose to Duplicate the file/files. Duplicating a file will create a separate file record with the original name with a number in brackets appended to ensure the name is unique. E.g. Duplicate a file with the name "30.06.21 - Payroll Activity Summary.pdf" will re-name the duplicate file to "30.06.21 - Payroll Activity Summary (1).pdf". This file can then be renamed via the Rename action outlined earlier if you wish.

To duplicate a file/files

  1. Head to the Files screen and navigate to the file(s) you wish to duplicate.

  2. Select the file(s) you wish to duplicate.

  3. Click Duplicate if it appears in the action bar, otherwise, click the More actions menu button, then select Duplicate.

  4. A Duplicate confirmation dialogue will appear alerting you that the file(s) will be created as original files. Select Duplicate when you're ready.
