How to duplicate a link with all its settings in Papermark?

When you share documents with several recipients, you often need multiple links with almost identical settings. Instead of rebuilding the configuration each time, you can duplicate any link with one click and Papermark will copy over every property.

Link duplication works on all plans, for both document links and data room links.

What gets copied when you duplicate a link

Duplicating preserves every setting attached to the original link:

• Access controls: email requirement, email verification, password, allow list, block list, allowed domains
• Expiration settings: expiration date and view limits
• Branding: custom colors, logo, banner, custom domain
• Watermarks: dynamic watermark configuration and text
• Download permissions: allow or block downloads, disable printing
• Notifications: link notification preferences
• Custom fields: any custom fields and required toggles
• Agreements: NDA or custom agreement requirements

The duplicate is created as a new, independent link with its own unique URL. Changes to either link after duplication do not affect the other.

Step-by-step: duplicate a document link

1. Log into Papermark.
2. Open the document you want to share.
3. Go to the Links tab.
4. Find the link you want to copy and click the three-dot menu on the right.
5. Choose Duplicate.

A new link appears in the list immediately, with (copy) appended to its name. You can rename it, tweak a setting if needed, and share the new URL.

Step-by-step: duplicate a data room link

1. Open the data room you want to share.
2. Click the Links tab inside the data room.
3. Click the three-dot menu next to any link.
4. Choose Duplicate.

The duplicate keeps any group permissions, folder visibility rules, and index settings that were attached to the original.

When to use duplication

• Multiple investors with the same NDA and watermark: duplicate one preconfigured link per recipient so you can track each viewer separately while keeping settings identical.
• A/B testing access controls: duplicate a link and change only one setting (password vs. email verification, for example) to compare behavior.
• Reusable templates per use case: keep a "template link" with your standard security settings and duplicate it whenever you need a fresh URL.
• Replacing an expired link: duplicate the original instead of recreating everything from scratch, then delete or expire the old one.

Duplication vs. link presets

Link duplication and link presets both reduce repetitive setup work, but they solve different problems.

Approach	Best for
Duplicate	One-off copies based on an existing link you already have
Preset	Repeated link creation with the same settings across many documents and data rooms

If you find yourself duplicating the same link more than two or three times, convert it into a link preset instead. Presets are reusable across every document and data room in your account.
