Duplicate a tile

You can duplicate one tile at a time or duplicate multiple tiles simultaneously.

To duplicate one tile

  1. Select the tile to display the tile-specific commands.

  2. Select Duplicate.

    Depending on the availability of space on your dashboard, a duplicate tile is placed next to or under the original tile, or the original tile's space is halved to make room for the original plus the duplicate. If the automatic tile placement isn't what you want, you can, of course, move your duplicate tiles manually.

    Select a tile and hover over the Duplicate button to see where the duplicate would be placed.
