How to make a copy of my Dropbox Paper doc

Alofbk

I tried the Help section but could not find an answer to my really simple question.

How do I make a copy with a new name of my Paper Doc. I want to let others edit the original but want a backup.

Thanks,

Alofbk

Hi there, currently it isn’t possible to duplicate a Paper doc.

You can however copy and paste the contents of a doc to another blank doc for backup reasons.

Hope this helps!

It would be great to be able to copy a Paper doc or save it as a copy. Example use case would be if I'm creating a derivative version of an existing doc and need to keep the two docs separate moving forward.

👋 Hey @zekay2000, thanks for posting your request here! I’m just wondering if you’ve had a chance to look into the 📝 Paper Templates feature (Note: I’ve created a walkthrough here that could be useful).

You may have a look at your earliest convenience & let me know if that’s what you were looking for or you have any additional questions. Enjoy the rest of your day until we talk again!

Hi @Jane,

Thanks for the answer. Yes, I saw that you have Templates, but it seems like overkill for what I'm looking for, as there's no need to ever create more than one copy.

Guys, you should add this feature. We are sking for it since 2015.
