Copy / duplicate a topic

Copying a topic creates a new topic with the same content as the original. You have the option to make changes to the copy before publishing. 

How to copy a topic

Step 1

Select Copy  from the Cog menu, then choose the category to post into. It can copied into the current category (the first selection) or another category in the community. 

Step 2

When copying a topic, only the topic itself is copied. The likes, follows, and replies of the original topic are not copied.
