# How can I copy a post?

Transferring high-quality posts between Spaces allows for efficient content reuse and portfolio building. Both teachers and students can copy posts to different classes, groups, or individual portfolios to maintain a continuous record of learning.

###### Before You Start

* **Permissions:** You must have access to create posts in the destination space to complete a copy.
* **Ownership:** Students can only copy posts they have authored themselves.
* **Content Scope:** Copied posts include all attachments and curriculum tags, but do not include comments from the original post.
* **Independence:** The new post is entirely separate; edits or comments made to the copy will not affect the original.

Follow these instructions to duplicate a post into a new location:

1. Locate the post you wish to duplicate and click the **three dots** (menu button) at the bottom right.
2. Select **Copy Post** from the menu.
3. In the **Post Details** section, review and optionally edit the title, description, or attachments.

    * **Post Type:** Choose between a **Shared** or **Template** Post.

2. Toggle the **Portfolios** tab at the top of the screen.
3. In the **Post Selections** panel, select the specific **Portfolio** and **Section** for the copy.

###### Good to Know

* **Visibility:** The copied post will adopt the visibility settings of its new destination space.
* **Missing Options:** If you do not see the "Copy Post" option, it indicates you are not the author of the post or do not have posting rights in the target space.
* **Activities:** Copying a post is distinct from copying an Activity. To duplicate an Activity, please refer to the [Activity Management Guide](https://help.spacesedu.com/en-ca/article/how-can-i-create-and-assign-activities-glo895/).
* **Reporting:** Copied posts are treated as new entries in the Reporting Space, ensuring accurate data for the destination class.

| 💡 Tip: Use the "Copy Post" feature to quickly move exemplary student work from a collaborative Class Space into their private Portfolio for end-of-year assessments.
