How to Copy and Duplicate Tables in Notion Workspace

There are a few different ways to copy a table in Notion:

Method 1: Duplicate the Table

1. Find the table you want to copy in the left sidebar menu.
2. Click the three dots next to the table name and select “Duplicate”.
3. This will create an exact copy of the table right below the original.

Method 2: Copy as Markdown

1. Open the table you want to copy.
2. Click the icon in the top right corner of the table.
3. Select “Copy as Markdown”.
4. This will copy the Markdown formatted version of the table that you can paste elsewhere.

Method 3: Copy Link to Table

1. Open the table you want to copy
2. Click the icon in the top right corner.
3. Select “Copy link to table”.
4. This copies a link to that table that you can share with others.

Turning a Table into a Database

If your table grows in size and complexity, you may want to turn it into a full Notion database to unlock more features.

To do this:

1. Open the simple table.
2. Click the three dots in the top right corner.
3. Select “Turn into database”.

This will convert the table into a flexible, feature-rich Notion database while preserving all the existing data.

When to Use Simple Tables vs Databases

• Use simple tables for basic data that doesn’t need complex relationships or views. They are great for quick reference tables.
• Use databases when you need features like filtered views, linked relations, and automatic timestamps. Databases can scale better for large, complex data.
