How do I copy an existing product and edit it?
From the product list or edit page, “Copy product” makes a hidden copy with the same details for you to edit and publish; the original stays as it is.

If a new product is like one you already have, copy it instead of typing everything again.
Steps
- In Products open the ⋮ menu next to the product and choose Copy product (or click Copy at the top of the product's edit page).
- If the product has photos you'll see Copy the photos too — tick it to reuse them.
- Click Copy and edit.
- The copy's edit page opens: change the name, price and photos, switch on Product is available for customers and Save changes.
What is copied?
- Description, price, category, brands, sizes and colours (variants) and extras.
- Photos — if you ticked Copy the photos too.
What's different on the copy?
- It's named “… (copy)” with a new link and SKU.
- It's hidden until you review and show it, with quantity 1.
- No views or reviews, and its SEO fields start empty.
Note: the original product doesn't change at all. From the edit page, the last saved version is copied — save your edits first if you want them in the copy.
