### Duplicate project

Duplicating a project is an easy (and fast) way to make a copy of it, either for a backup, or to use as a [blueprint project](https://www.datocms.com/docs/scripting-migrations/keeping-multiple-datocms-projects-in-sync.md).

However, please keep in mind that **only the primary environment is duplicated**. [Sandbox environments](https://www.datocms.com/docs/general-concepts/primary-and-sandbox-environments.md) are NOT copied.

When duplicating a project you'll be asked if you want to duplicate the schema only or also the data by using this toggle:

### Delete project

When deleting the project we immediately delete all your content from our database. We have a small window of time in which we can retrieve backups, but after that all is gone, so be extremely careful when performing this action.
