Cloning Living Spec Documents

You can duplicate any existing of your existing Living Spec documents, preserving pages, tasks and files. A perfect way to iterate, edit, and share your Living Spec in a non-destructive way! This makes it easy to provide your own templates for your team or quickly replicate an existing document to share with a different group of users.

Cloning gets initiated from the document side toolbar, or from any dashboard view that shows documents.

Note: Some properties like task assignees and due dates get reset as the set of users in the new document is not replicated.

We’ll show you how fun they can be using unofficial mock specs for the likes of Wordle, Among Us, Super Mario Bros, The Crown, Espresso Ice Cubes, and the original iPod.

These work-in-progress specs reinforce the reality of collaborative spec writing and product creation. It is important to write things down first and iterate towards perfection over time.

One of our example spec documents is an RFC template based on surveying a large amount of public information about organizations and projects that use an RFC process to propose new features.

We'll continue adding more formats to help you create a better information architecture for your team over time. Or simply create your own smaller structure and reuse it with our Snippets.

To replicate content from a page in one document into another document, you can copy and paste. When you copy content into a different document, the users with access may differ from the original document. When pasting content with feature chips, you will be presented with the option to preserve original links or simply copy the content from the page.

If you copy links, users will be presented with a lock icon if they do not have access to the content linked from the original document.
