* **Select Parent Category:** Choose the parent category for the duplicate category.
* **Copy Product Relations:** Select Yes if you want to copy product relations from the original category.
* **Include Subcategories:** Select Yes if you want to copy subcategories from the original category.
* **Copy Categories Rules:** Select Yes if you want to copy categories rules from the original category.
* **Copy Child Categories Rules:** Select Yes if you want to copy subcategories rules from the original category.
* **Search and Replace:** Type a category or subcategory name from the original category in the search column and type the new name in the replace column which you want in the duplicate category.

After completing, click on the “**Duplicate**” button from the upper-right corner. It will ask for confirmation. If the category has a large number of subcategories and products, it may take some time to copy.
