Hi Knack,

I wanted to get a little bit of feedback from you on this topic.

There isn’t a way to duplicate a project within the browser, you could do this in the Documents/Unreal Projects/ folder by copying your folder there. Then next time you load up the project browser your project would be there duplicated.

Is there a specific need for this functionality? If so, why?

or

Were you just curious if it was functionality that was included or not?

If there are legitimate reasons and enough backing this is something I could pass along to developers to look into how feasible it would be to include.

Thank you!

Tim

No.

did not know copy and paste was enough for duplicate, that’s perfect. I googling, and read somewhere that i must change for duplicate multiple files (ini)

thanks.

i just searched for the same thing. I swear there was an easy way to clone projects from within the browser (so you can make changes and have a build to go back to in case you screw things up. Compiling + Autosaves = what you do, you’re stuck with!), but I couldn’t find it either.

So Copy + Paste the folders is the answer?

this idea wpuld be fantastic…for me i like to create solo games however id also like to make that same project a 2v2 and 3v3 etc…but i wouod need to re create the entire map again as a seperate project to set up the new game mode…it would seem very beneficial to have a duplicate option so we dont have to go and re create the same map again for 3v3 etc, very time consuming…would love a duplicate project option added

Actually @Eight_Bit_Punk is right, from the Epic Games Launcher under Unreal Engine, select the Library tab, then scroll down to My Projects, right click on any of your projects and select “Clone”.

I had no idea this feature existed until today and I couldn’t find any info on it so I hope this helps anyone else searching the same thing!
