## About copying projects
|
|
|
|
You can copy an existing project and use it as a template to save time configuring your views and custom fields.
|
|
|
|
When you copy a project, the new project will contain the same {% data reusables.projects.what-gets-copied %}. The new project will not contain the original project's items, collaborators, or team and repository links.
|
|
|
|
{% data reusables.projects.org-templates %}
|
|
|
|
