# Duplicating Products, Recipes, and Orders

> Clone any product, recipe, order, quote, or ingredient to reuse your work instead of starting over.

## Overview

Most of what you make is a variation on something you've already built — a seasonal flavor, a similar cake, a repeat order for a returning client. The **Duplicate** action makes an independent copy in one click, so you can tweak the copy without touching the original.

## What you can duplicate

The **Duplicate** action exists on five things:

* **Recipes** — `/pantry/recipes/[id]`, a **Duplicate** button (copy icon). Shows "Duplicating…" while it works.
* **Products** — `/products/[id]`, a small copy **icon** button (labeled "Duplicate {name}").
* **Orders** — `/orders/[id]`, a **Duplicate** button.
* **Quotes** — `/quotes/[id]`.
* **Ingredients** — `/pantry/ingredients/[id]`.

## How it works

1. Open the record you want to copy.
2. Click **Duplicate**.
3. Knead creates an independent copy named **"Copy of {name}"** (then "Copy of {name} (2)", "(3)", and so on if you duplicate again).
4. You're navigated to the new copy, and a toast confirms it — e.g. `Duplicated "{name}"` or `Duplicated order {number}`.

The copy is fully editable and completely independent of the original. Changing one never affects the other.

## When to use it

* **Seasonal variations** — duplicate a product and swap in fall flavors.
* **Similar cakes** — start a new design from one that's close.
* **Repeat orders** — duplicate a returning client's last order instead of rebuilding it.
* **Recipe experiments** — clone a recipe and adjust quantities without risking your tested version.

<Tip>Pro tip: Duplicate a proven recipe before you experiment. You keep the original intact and can compare costs side by side in The Pantry.</Tip>

<Note>Good to know: Rename the copy right after creating it — "Copy of Vanilla Sponge" is fine while you work, but a clear name keeps your catalog tidy.</Note>
