# Duplicating an Article

Want to create a new article with the same content and settings? By duplicating (copying) an article it'll copy across everything from your previous article—including the content, formatting, category, tags, and all settings—so you can create similar articles quickly ⚡️

So they don't head to the same place we'll automatically add a few characters to the [end of the slug](https://support.helpdocs.io/article/ej5mlYWIut-editing-article-slugs-and-metadata) of the duplicated article

The duplicated article will be created as a [draft](/article/oJI0ylcwEC-understanding-article-statuses) in the same category as the original. It keeps the same title as the original article, and all settings are preserved.
