Administrators can duplicate an entry from the front end of your website with GravityView by adding the Duplicate Entry field to your View.

To duplicate an entry, first add the Duplicate Entry field to your View:

### 1. Create or edit a View, then click a layout tab

You can add the field to the Multiple Entries Layout tab, the Single Entry Layout tab, or both, depending on where you want the link to appear.

### 2. Click Add Field or Add Table Column

*Once you confirm, you'll see that the entry has been duplicated:*![The message The entry was successfully duplicated above a table listing California Imports twice](https://www.gravitykit.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/gravityview-entry-duplicated-message.png)The copy starts as unapproved. If the View has **Show only approved entries** turned on, the copy won't appear until you approve it. To see unapproved entries in the View while you're logged in, turn on **Show all entries to administrators**.

## Allowing users to duplicate their entries

By default, duplicating entries is only available to administrators. To let other logged-in users duplicate the entries they created, edit the View settings:

### 1. Edit the View and scroll down to the Settings box. Click the Permissions tab.
