Yes, Webflow provides a feature that allows users to duplicate a CMS Collection. Duplicating a Collection can be very useful when you want to create a similar Collection with slight modifications or want to use an existing Collection as a starting point for a new one. Here's how you can duplicate a CMS Collection in Webflow:

  1. Log in to your Webflow account and go to your Webflow dashboard.
  2. Select the desired project where you want to duplicate the CMS Collection.
  3. Click on the "CMS" tab in the main navigation panel on the left side.
  4. In the CMS Collections panel, find the Collection you want to duplicate and click on the three dots icon (⋮) next to it.
  5. From the dropdown menu, select "Duplicate Collection."

Webflow will create a copy of the selected Collection with the same fields and structure. The duplicated Collection will have the same name as the original Collection, followed by "-copy." You can now make modifications to the duplicated Collection or use it as a starting point to create a new Collection.

Duplicating a CMS Collection in Webflow can save a lot of time and effort, especially when you have similar content structures or need to manage multiple versions of the same Collection. It streamlines the workflow by eliminating the need to recreate fields and settings from scratch.

This feature is especially beneficial for website designers and developers who frequently work with complex content structures and need to create multiple Collections based on a common template or theme.
