Duplicating a Contact

You can duplicate a contact for another account. This is useful if a contact joins another company and you want to associate the contact with both accounts. If you want to associate the contact with only the new account you can move the contact to that account.

You can also choose to duplicate or move other information from the original contact to the new contact. To get the details as to what happens when a contact is duplicated, see What happens when I duplicate a contact?
