Copy a card, list, or board

You can copy pretty much anything in Trello, making it really useful to re-use existing cards, checklists, lists, and boards.

Cards

To copy your card:

1. Open a card

2. Select the Actions () on the top right

3. Select Copy to copy the card

After selecting Copy, you can name the copied card, choose what you want to keep when it’s copied, and where you would like to copy the card to (Inbox or Board)

You can also copy a card by right-clicking the card from the board view:

Lists

Copying a list will copy all of the cards on that list into a new list, including the checklists, attachments, and comments from the original cards.

To copy a list:

1. Select the Actions () menu on your list

2. Select Copy list

When a list is copied, we'll copy card descriptions, attachments, and comments. We won't copy card history/activity (like when a card was moved between lists). 

Boards

You can even copy entire boards! Open the board's menu, then click More and choose Copy board. When a board is copied, we'll copy cards and their descriptions. We don't copy comments, card activity, card members or archived cards, however. If you want a "full copy" of the board, the best bet is to copy each list individually and move it to your new board. You might also check to see if you want to change the board admins, or move the board to a new Workspace, instead.

Bonus! Checklists on cards

You can also copy just the checklists on cards. When you go to add a checklist, there's an option to Copy items from which will let you copy any other checklist on your board.
