How To Quickly Copy and Paste Sites on Office 365









Many of us know how useful the Site Template is for replicating a site in SharePoint, but it can take quite a bit of time and always leaves loads of templates behind in the Solutions section.

So yesterday I found an easy and painless way to create copies of sites. I tried using the 'Content and Structure' section in Site Settings.

Now, first thing I found was that you couldn't paste a copy of a site in the parent site or a subsite. So I had to think of a workaround. The answer is to create another site at the same level before I did the copy.


So then I could use the Action 'Copy' when the Site I wanted to copy was highlighted in 'Content and Structure'. Then when the tree of sites to paste it in came up I choose the other site at the same level. I had made this site to have permissions just for the Admins so users didn't see this work around.

I had made this site to have permissions just for the Admins so users didn't see this work around.

I then renamed the Site and changed URL of the pasted one. I changed it to what the Site would eventually need to be called.

Then I copied this new pasted Site (with new name and URL) back into the original Site. I decided to leave the original pasted copy in the Admin Site (the one I created to get the copy working) as a Backup in case anything goes wrong with the Site in future.

This is a well written article from the point of view of the writer. It is informative, but easy to read and understand. The writer does not fill the sentences with unnecessary information, which is often seen in many articles. The author keeps his writing objective by offering three primary points as an introduction: what is goal writing, who can write professionally and why you should choose goal writing Weeknd Roots Jacket
