# Copy Products to Another Project

> Reuse products from one project by copying them directly into another project's schedule.

*Written by Armaan Shah · Updated March 3, 2026*

Just like you can copy products from your Firm Library to a project, you can copy products from other projects. The process is the same.

### Before You Begin

* You must be a member of **both** the source project and the destination project.
* To copy products, you need **Editor**, **Creator**, or **Admin** permissions on the destination project. Viewers cannot copy products.
* The destination project must already exist. You cannot create a new project during this flow.

### How to Copy Product(s) to another Project

<Steps>
  <Step title="Navigate to the **Schedule** in the source project — the project you want to copy products *from*" />

  <Step title="Select the product(s) you want to copy">
    * Hover over a product and click the **checkbox** that appears to the left of its name, **or**
    * Click the **checkbox** next to the product column header to select all products.

  </Step>
</Steps>

### Outcome

The selected products will appear in the destination project's default Schedule view. Any new columns created during the copy will be visible and placed at the far right of the default view, and hidden by default in any shared or personal views.

### Copying Custom Data with Products

When **Copy custom data** is toggled on, field values travel with the product. Here's how the system handles each scenario:

### Custom Fields

| **Scenario**                                                  | **What happens**                                                   |
| ------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| A field with the same name and type exists in the destination | Data maps to the existing field                                    |
| A field with the same name but different type exists          | A new field is created with a modified name (e.g., Field Name (2)) |
| No matching field exists                                      | A new field is created                                             |

**Field-type behavior:**

* **List fields** — new options from the copied data are added to the destination field's option list
* **Number fields** — values are included; decimal places align with the destination project's settings
* **Text fields** — text is copied as-is
* **Attachment fields** — new attachments are added

### Company Fields (Editable)

Company Fields are standardized fields shared across your firm's projects. **Editable** **Company Fields** allow users to enter project-specific values in those cells — for example, a "Cost" field where each project team logs their own price.

When you copy a product with **copy custom data** enabled, editable Company Field values are included in the copy. For example: if Window X has a Cost value of $300 in Project A and you copy it to Project B, the $300 value will appear in Project B's schedule.

<Warning>
  **⚠️ Note:** Only **Editable** Company Fields carry over project-specific cell values. Non-editable Company Fields (shown with a lock icon 🔒) are read-only and controlled at the firm level — their values are not copied.
</Warning>
