How to Duplicate a Form and What Gets Copied

Duplicate a form in FormRobin to reuse its questions, rules and design: open Forms, click the form's ⋮ menu and choose Duplicate.

What Is Form Duplication?

Duplicating creates a new form with the same questions, conditional logic and design as the original. Use it when you need several similar forms, or to try changes without touching a form that is already collecting responses.

How to Duplicate a Form

1. Click Forms in the top navigation.
2. Find the form you want to copy.
3. Click the ⋮ (More) menu on the form's row.
4. Choose Duplicate.
5. The list reloads and shows the copy, named after the original with "(Copy)" at the end.
6. Open the copy with Edit to rename and customize it.

What Gets Copied?

• Form name - with " (Copy)" added
• All questions - question types, labels, descriptions, options, required settings and order
• Conditional logic - every show/hide rule, pointing at the copied questions (see Using Conditional Logic in Forms)
• Design - colors, fonts and other style settings
• Email notifications - on or off, as on the original
• Custom redirect - the post-submission redirect URL
• Multi-page mode - single-page or multi-page display
• Folder - the copy is created in the same folder

What Does NOT Get Copied?

• Responses - submissions, and files respondents uploaded, stay with the original form
• Analytics - views and completion data start from zero
• Published status - the copy starts unpublished, so it does not accept responses until you publish it
• Form link - the copy gets its own link and embed code
• Integrations - SendFox lists and Google Sheets connections belong to the original; set them up again on the copy

Common Use Cases for Duplication

• Testing changes - edit a copy while the original keeps collecting responses
• Similar forms - one event registration form per event, date or location
• Seasonal versions - copy last year's form and update the details
• Starting point - keep a master form and duplicate it for each new use

After Duplicating a Form

1. Rename the copy so it is easy to tell apart.
2. Update the title, questions and descriptions that differ.
3. Check the redirect URL if the copy should send people to a different page.
4. Reconnect integrations such as SendFox or Google Sheets.
5. Publish the copy when it is ready (see Publishing and Sharing Your Form).
6. Submit a test response on the live form.

To remove a form you no longer need, see Deleting and Restoring Forms.

Permissions Required

• You can duplicate forms you can open, such as your own forms.
• For a form in a folder, you need edit access to that folder, because the copy is created there.
• The copy belongs to you, the person who duplicated it.

Limitations

• Forms are duplicated one at a time.
• Integrations are not copied (see above).

Troubleshooting

I can't find the Duplicate option

• Open Forms in the top navigation and click the ⋮ menu at the end of the form's row.

The copy does not accept responses

• Copies start unpublished. Publish the copy, then share its own link or embed code, not the original's (see Publishing and Sharing Your Form).

SendFox or Google Sheets gets nothing from the copy

• Integrations are not copied. Connect SendFox or Google Sheets to the copy again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I duplicate a form into a different folder?

The copy is created in the same folder as the original. Afterwards, use Move to folder in the copy's ⋮ menu (see Organizing Forms with Folders).

Does duplicating change the original form?

No. The original and its responses stay exactly as they were, and later edits to the copy do not affect it.

Are my integrations copied?

No. SendFox lists and Google Sheets connections stay with the original. Set them up again on the copy.

How many times can I duplicate a form?

As often as you like. Both plans, Free Plan and Individual Plan, include unlimited forms.
