How to Duplicate Your Project

Written by Katelyn

Duplicating your project is handy if you would like to order multiple copies of one project with minor differences in each. For example, I can create a Family Tree Poster or Family History Book for myself, duplicate it, and manually change the starting person to my sibling. This allows me to easily create a poster or book for them with all of the edits and customizations I already made to my own project!

To learn how to duplicate your projects, watch the video tutorial below or keep reading for step-by-step instructions.



Go to the My Projects section of the MyCanvas website.

Locate the project under "My Creations" and click the green "Duplicate" button below it.

You'll see a new project appear with the title "Copy of..."

To edit and rename the "Copy of..." version, click the blue "Edit" button below the copied project. Enter a new name for your project at the top of the screen, then click Save.

You may easily locate and continue both projects in your Account Creations.


To create a copy of a book, poster, or calendar that you have already ordered, please see: How to Edit and Reorder a Previously Ordered Project.

To reorder one or more copies of a previous order without making any changes, please see: How to Reorder an Exact Copy of a Previously Ordered Project.
