Copying a post saves you rebuilding one you have already made.
From the Instagram grid
- Hover the post and open its menu at the bottom of the card.
- Select Create a Copy.
- When Duplicate post asks you to confirm, select Create copy.
From the list or gallery view
- Hover the post.
- Select the copy icon, labelled Duplicate post.
- Confirm with Create copy.
From a published post
Open the published post. Its footer has Create a Copy next to the publish date.
What gets copied
The copy carries over:
- Every channel on the original post, with its own post type and settings.
- Media, in the same order.
- Caption and first comment.
- The auto-post or reminder setting per channel.
- The campaign the original belongs to.
Where the copy action is not shown
The grid card menu is hidden while a post is publishing and after it has published. To copy a published post, open it and use Create a Copy in the footer.
A copy consumes one post from your plan's allowance, so it fails if you are already at your limit.
