Duplicate Publication

Duplicate publication is the ability to create an exact copy of an existing flipbook or document, including its content, settings, branding, and configuration. The duplicate is a fully independent publication that can be modified without affecting the original. It serves as a starting point for creating variations of proven content, letting teams skip the repetitive setup work and jump straight to what actually changes — the PDF and any audience-specific adjustments. Every setting, from [CTA buttons](/features/cta-buttons) and [lead capture](/features/lead-capture) forms to [access controls](/features/privacy-and-access-control) and [custom branding](/features/branding-and-design), carries over to the new copy.

Rebuilding a publication from scratch every time you need a new version wastes significant effort and introduces the risk of forgotten settings. Duplication lets teams reuse successful formats, layouts, and configurations instantly. It is especially valuable for recurring content like monthly reports, seasonal catalogs, or regional variations where the structure stays the same but the details change. For organizations managing dozens or hundreds of publications, duplication turns hours of manual configuration into a one-click operation, ensuring consistency across every piece of content.

FlipLink's [Duplicate Publication](/features/duplicate-publication) feature creates a complete clone of any existing publication in one click. The copy inherits all settings including branding, CTA buttons, lead capture forms, access controls, and custom domain configuration. After duplicating, you can replace the PDF, adjust settings, or change the branding on the new copy independently. The original publication remains live and unchanged. Each duplicate gets its own unique share link and [analytics](/features/analytics-and-insights) tracking, so performance data stays separate. Combined with [Save as Template](/features/save-as-template), you can build a library of pre-configured starting points for different content types and hand them to anyone on your team.
