Portfolio duplicate site

Hello.
I would like to duplicate my default site and continue to edit it as a new site (create a second site in the portfolio based on my existing site.).

For example, I have some clients who I don't want to show the full version of the site. I would like to select just some projects and show them and I would like to use a design based on my existing site.

It would be better not to do this from scratch each time.

Is it possible?

Thanks.

You can duplicate pages or collections (formerly called galleries) within the same Portfolio site. But there is no feature for duplicating a site except to create a new site with the same Theme you used before.

I came here looking for the same feature. I agree it seems like a no-brainer that you should be able to start a new site by duplicating an existing one. It's very annoying not to be able to reuse assets across sites. But, it seems that when you make a new site, it's auto-populated with the content from your first site, so maybe that's the hack: put every possible page you'd ever want in the first site, then, to make a variation, create a new site and turn off all the stuff you don't want to see in that version. Not a perfect solution, but maybe better than nothing.

Hi @meta-lingo,

Yes, that is exactly what I suggested almost a year ago on May 18, 2020. Thanks for repeating it. 🙂

Feel free to submit your feature requests to the Portfolio Support Team below.

I'm trying to do that same thing on adobe portfolio. Did you ever find a way to duplicate the site?

@mimosaFF3D81,

Like I said above last year, you cannot duplicate a Portfolio site. Feel free to submit feature requests to the Portfolio Team. Or use a commercial online web site builder like Squarespace or Wix. Maybe they let you duplicate a site -- don't know, never used either one.

You can create up to 5 sites in Portfolio with different URLs.

1. Create a new gallery site.

2. Go to Pages and toggle on/off desired project pages. See screenshot.

3. Publish site & make a note of the new URL.

Sorry, but this is not what I asked.

"I would like to use a design based on my existing site.

Is it possible?"

I would like to copy all design as is.
