About This Feature
Overview
Create Copy is a duplicate workflow in WPS on macOS for Bitable content. It helps you create a new copy of an existing dashboard or table so you can test changes, keep a backup, branch a workflow, or continue editing without changing the original object.
Core tasks include:
- Duplicate a dashboard for layout reuse and follow-up edits.
- Duplicate a table with either structure-only content or full content.
- Rename the new copy after creation for clearer version management.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | On macOS, WPS lets you create a copy of a dashboard from the left table list, and create a table copy with either an empty structure-and-view copy or a full-content copy. | Microsoft Loop officially supports collaborative pages and workspaces, but the public official help page used here does not provide direct product guidance for a table-style copy flow equivalent to WPS Bitable object duplication. | Google Docs Editors officially supports Make a copy for files such as documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. | Notion officially supports duplicating a page into a workspace, and the duplicated page can include sub-pages. | Adobe Acrobat officially supports moving or copying pages within PDFs on desktop. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS covers both dashboard copies and table copies in one workflow. Distinct: table copies include two options—copy only the empty table and views, or copy all content. | Compared with WPS: the official page is centered on Loop pages and workspaces, not a Bitable-style object copy flow with separate structure-only and full-content options. | Compared with WPS: Google's official workflow is file-level copying, not dashboard-level and table-level duplication inside a Bitable workspace. | Compared with WPS: Notion clearly supports page duplication, but its page model is different from a structured Bitable table copy workflow. | Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on PDF page copying rather than dashboard and table duplication in a data workspace. |

Overall Conclusion
If your main task is duplicating dashboards and tables inside a Bitable workflow, WPS provides a closer match to that object-level workflow on macOS. Other products also support copying content, but their official guidance is more focused on files, pages, or PDF pages rather than Bitable dashboard and table copies.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable for | Main challenge | How Create Copy helps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Testing a new plan | Project owners and data coordinators | You want to try a new structure without changing the original | Create a copy first, then adjust fields and views in the copy |
| 2 | Reusing recurring reports | Operations and analysts | Similar dashboards or tables are needed again and again | Duplicate an existing dashboard or table and then rename it |
| 3 | Keeping a backup | Team collaborators | Direct edits may affect the original object | Keep a separate copy before making changes |
| 4 | Extending a blank template | Table designers | You want the structure and views without old records | Use the empty table and views option |
| 5 | Extending a full dataset | Team members | You need a branch version with existing records included | Use the full-content copy option |
