Need to reuse a post or create a similar one without starting from scratch? Post duplication in Kontentino lets you copy a single post or duplicate multiple posts in bulk - in just a few clicks.
How to Duplicate a Single Post
You can duplicate a post from any calendar view. The exact action depends on the view, but the logic stays the same.
How it works
Open Calendar, List, Board, or Grid view
Duplicate the post:
Calendar: Drag & drop the post down to the Drop to duplicate area
List: Click the three dots in the post row → Duplicate
Grid / Board: Open the post → click the Duplicate icon (top right, the second icon from left, next to Copy link)
The Duplicate Posts modal opens
Select one or more destination profiles
(Optional) Choose a Content Plan for better categorization of your content
Set scheduling:
Duplicate as a draft or keep the original post status
Set a custom date/time (or keep the original)
Click Duplicate
Your post is copied to the selected profile(s).
💡 Tip: Use Profile groups if you wish to duplicate the post to multiple profiles with fewer clicks. Select the profile group in the profile selector, and all the profiles within that group will be preselected in the Duplicate posts modal. You can add more profiles or exclude some if needed.
Calendar view: Drag and drop duplication within a Profile group
List view: Single post duplication using the three dots → Duplicate
Board view/Grid view: Single post duplication via opening the Post modal
How to Duplicate Multiple Posts at Once (Bulk Duplication)
Perfect for campaigns or repurposing content at scale.
How it works
Go to Calendar, List, or Board view
Select multiple posts using the checkboxes
Click Time Savers (top right)
Choose Duplicate Posts
In the modal:
Add one or more target profiles
(Optional) Select Content Plans
Choose draft vs. original status
Set a custom schedule if needed
Click Duplicate
You’ll see a results screen showing the duplication status for each post. Watch out for any error messages to ensure correct post duplication.
💡 Tip: Bulk duplication is ideal when duplicating an entire week or campaign to another profile / time period.

Facebook → Instagram
Link posts → Photo posts
Galleries → Single image
Text trimmed to platform limits
Mentions removed
Audience targeting removed
General rules
Text length adjusted per platform
Media preserved when supported
Unsupported features removed or transformed
⚠️ Always review duplicated posts when switching platforms.
Troubleshooting
Post duplicated but not scheduled
Why: Scheduling conflict or profile restrictions
Fix: Open the duplicated post (saved as draft) → set a new date/time → schedule again
Duplicate option missing
Why: Insufficient permissions
Fix: Ask your admin for Manager or Admin access
Content looks different
Why: Platform-specific formatting rules
Fix: Open the duplicate → review and adjust → save
Best Practices
