Why do you keep changing things for no reason?

What happened to the Copy option?  Change can be a good thing, but change for the sake of change is not a good thing.  I had to waste time figuring out what happened to the Copy menu item. What is the purpose of renaming an option aside from confusing users?  Others in my organization feel the same way.  On the Jira side, what purpose is making something that used to take one mouse click to now taking two or three?

Hi @Mark Dietel 

It always is something, provide it as feedback to Atlassian via the feedback option (right bottom corner)

As the documentation still says "Copy" -> https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/move-copy-and-hide-pages/ 

The naming in Confluence now says "Duplicate", via the 3 dots behind a page!!!

Totally agree.  We have to rewrite our manuals, because inexperienced user are looking for "copy" and only see "duplicate".  This leads to extra questions and needless back and forth.
