To duplicate a screen, right click on the screen name that you would like to duplicate.  Select the "Duplicate Screen" pop-up option.

    

A duplicate copy of the screen will be made, and will be placed at the end of the tab list.  For example, if you are duplicating "Screen 1" as above, a duplicate screen will appear at the end of tab list as "Screen 1 (1)." 

Following the above procedures for renaming, you can adjust the name of the newly duplicated screen.
