Duplicating content in Waybook saves time and keeps your team's documentation consistent. Whether you're copying an entire subject, a single document, or a few steps, Waybook makes it quick to reuse what you've already built instead of starting from scratch.
What can be duplicated?
You can duplicate the following content types in Waybook:
Subjects - duplicate an entire subject, including all the documents and steps it contains, to create a similar set of materials in one go.
Documents - copy an individual document to reuse or adapt its content for a different purpose.
Steps - duplicate specific steps within a document when you're creating similar instructions or structures.
Nodes within steps - copy a single node, like a checklist, rich text block, or embedded media, to replicate formatting or content within a step.
How to duplicate content
Go to the subject, document, or step you want to duplicate.
Click the three-dot menu next to the item.
Select Duplicate. Waybook creates a copy you can then rename and edit as needed.

Benefits of duplicating content
Duplicating content helps you:
Save time by reusing and adjusting existing content instead of building it again.
Keep formatting and structure consistent across all your documentation.
Use a proven document as the base for new or updated materials.
Together with internal templates, duplication gives your team a faster, more consistent way to build and maintain your documentation.
💡 Duplicate or link?
Duplication is perfect for a fresh starting point you'll adapt and make your own. When the same information needs to stay accurate in more than one place, linking is the easier path - write it once and link to it wherever it's relevant, so you only ever update it once and your team always sees the latest version.
