Duplicating a Template

[Katurah Peters]

I am wondering if there is any way to duplicate a personally created template?  I want to make another template very similar to the one I have and am hoping there is a way I can duplicate and make the minor changes and save to a different name.

Please let me know and thank you for your help!

As a workaround use Source Editor

1. create new page with a title and save it
2. go to origin page use edit button and go to the Source Editor for Confluence
3. copy source code
4. paste code into new page in edit mode

Regards

@Daniel Keel YOU ARE A GENIUS, THIS WORKED FLAWLESSY.  

I had some formatting things that wouldn't allow the page to be compiled so I deleted the things the compiler complained about but copying and pasting the source code is the best option!!!!!

Thank you ad infitum!

You can work with templates as with standard Confluence pages, but you can't copy templates. So, open you current template in the edit mode, manually copy its contents and paste to your newly created template. Be careful if you use layouts: you'll have to copy section by section.

That is ridiculous. How hard can it be to add a "Duplicate" button?

Apparently it's so hard, nothing has been done since January 2007, when this issue was first reported.

Absolutely ridiculous!
