Tip #30 - Cloning a project
Sometimes, you'll want to use the same data from an existing project to create a new one. This is usually done by cloning an existing project. We have a simple work around wherein you can create a project template in Zoho Projects and save time recreating the wheel.

When creating a project template select the option "Choose from Projects" and select the project which you want to clone or duplicate to reuse
