# Duplicating a map

The best seed for a successful map is another map. Whether you’re making a template for your students or exploring different scenarios with coworkers, duplicating a map makes a copy that you can modify.

### How to duplicate a map

{% hint style="info" %}
Whoever duplicates the map becomes the owner of the copy.

Duplicating a map within a Project will create the copy in the same project. Otherwise, the copied map goes to your Drafts folder. See [Workspaces and projects](/administration/workspaces-and-projects.md) to learn more.
{% endhint %}

When viewing the map, click on the **`Felt`** menu (top-left corner), then **File, then** **Duplicate Map** option.

You can also duplicate maps from the home page from the overflow `...` menu:

### Disabling map duplication

By default, maps can be duplicated by any viewer. You can turn off map duplication via the **Duplicate map and data** toggle found within Map settings (the gear icon in the editor toolbar).
