# Clone multiple items

To clone multiple items at the same time, you must use the [Search functionality](https://doc.sitecore.com/xp/en/users/105/sitecore-experience-platform/searching.html "Searching"). In the search field, you can specify the appropriate search criteria or use the facets to find all the items that you want to clone.

> [!important]
> When you clone multiple items at the same time, all the clones are placed in the same location.

To clone multiple items:

1. Click the item in the content tree from where you want to start the search for the items that you want to clone.

   > [!note]

2. In the content area, click the **Search** ![](https://doc.sitecore.com/api/markdown-image/xp/en/users/105/sitecore-experience-platform/images/search-icon.png) tab, enter your search keywords, and press **ENTER**.

   > [!note]
   > Use the facets or filters to narrow down your search to list only the items you want to clone.
