Duplicate a document subset

Use the procedure in this topic to duplicate a document subset.

If you want to create a new document subset based on an existing subset, you can create an exact copy that can later be modified to suit your needs. You can only copy a document subset within the same document set, and the copied document subset is a reference copy only. This means the original files are still in their original location on the filesystem, but your document set refers to the same document in multiple document subsets.

You can duplicate document subsets in a test set only. This is because document information is tracked and recorded for the other document set types, and a duplicate subset would conflict each time a change was made.

Procedure

  1. Open the Documents window if it is not already open.
  2. Select the document set that contains the document subset that you want to duplicate.

    The document set expands and the list of its document subsets is displayed.

  3. On the list of document subsets, select a subset, right-click, and select Duplicate on the shortcut menu.

    A window is displayed where you can provide a name for your new subset.

  4. Enter a name and select OK.

    The new document subset is added to the document set.
