Make a copy when you want to use an existing artifact as the starting point for separate work.
Make a copy in the browser
- Open the artifact version you want to copy.
- Open More and choose Make a copy.
- Confirm the name and visibility.
- Select Make a copy.
The original stays open. When the copy is ready, open it from the linked URL or select Copy URL to hand it off.
What the copy includes
The new artifact starts at version 1 with the selected version's content and the source artifact's current Markdown theme. It does not include:
- earlier versions;
- discussions or resolved threads;
- invited people; or
- views and analytics history.
Later changes to either artifact do not affect the other.
Make a copy with the CLI
Run:
dsp make-copy <shortId>[@<version>]Omit the version to copy the current version. Use --name or --visibility to change either value for the new artifact. See the CLI reference for every option.
Make a copy with MCP
Ask an authenticated MCP assistant to use make_copy with the source artifact's short_id. The optional version, name, and visibility arguments match the browser flow. See MCP server for authentication and tool access.
