[Launched] Duplicating projects

Today: As an agency, we’re frequently starting new projects for new clients. We’ve evolved a set of best practices for Figma file organization, per-client design systems, etc. These best practices have been captured in a Starter Project project in Figma. However, to use this Starter Project each designer must duplicate each file in the Starter Project individually and then move them over into a new project.

Idea: We’d love to see Figma support duplicating projects in addition to the existing file duplication functionality. This would be a small but noticeable improvement in efficiency for spinning up new client projects.

+1 to everything that has been said. This would save hours of time and streamline our workflow.

+1 It will be awesome that we can duplicate projets with libs and component connexion working
independently.

Still it’s not possible to clone project… or I can’t find this feature?

You called it, ​@Jackson_Fox! 🎯

Duplicating folders is going live today. It's rolling out now, so if it hasn't reached your account yet, it should shortly. More on the broader folder updates here: Rolling out: Projects become folders.

Thanks, everyone, for keeping this one in front of us — good to finally check it off. ✅

Crossing my fingers this is just rollout glitches, but my first tests show duplicated files are empty
