How to Copy Lists in Vocab Loco

Created by Vocab Loco, Modified on Fri, 15 May at 2:09 PM by Ace Turner

Copying a word list in Vocab Loco allows you to reuse an existing list, create a modified version, or split a large list into smaller sets — all without affecting the original.

Where to find the Copy option

The copy feature is built directly into each list card. Look for the purple Copy / Split icon in the top-right corner of the list card. There is no three-dot menu (⋯) for this action.


Step 1: Go to your lists page

  • Go to Word Lists and open either the Custom Word Lists tab or the Lists Assigned to Students tab.

Step 2: Locate the list you want to copy

  • Browse or search for the list you want to reuse.

Step 3: Click the Copy / Split icon

  • On the list card, click the purple document icon in the top-right corner.
  • This opens the Copy / Split options.

Step 4: Choose "Copy List"

  • Select Copy to duplicate the entire list.
  • A new version of the list will be created using the same words and structure.

Step 5: Rename and edit (optional)

  • After copying, you can rename the list, add or remove words, and adjust lessons or groupings.
  • The original list remains unchanged.

Step 6: Save and use

  • Once saved, the copied list can be assigned to students, edited further, or used as the base for new lists.

Optional: Splitting a list

From the same Copy / Split icon, you can also divide a large list into smaller lists — helpful for weekly lessons or differentiated instruction.
