+<h2>Aug. 1, 2023 &nbsp;&nbsp; New ability to create duplicate tracks</h2>
+<p>
+We are pleased to announce the new Duplicating track feature, which allows a copy of a track to
+have its own independent settings and be used for multiple display views.</p>
+<div class="text-center">
+  <a href="http://genome.ucsc.edu/s/gperez2/RM_30365" target="_blank">
+  <img src="../images/duplicateDisplay.png"  width="300"></a>
+</div>
+<p>
+You can have multiple duplicates of the same track where the number will increment by one for
+each additional duplicate, and each duplicated track is independent of each other.
+Only tracks that are not inside of composite or supertracks can be duplicated and this feature does
+not work in hubs.</p>
+<p>
+Duplicate tracks can be helpful when comparing different settings and visibility
+types on the same data; for instance, displaying all GENCODE genes, including pseudogenes, in dense
+mode, alongside a more concise gene set, such as the default, in pack mode to see gene symbols and
+accessions. This is shown in the image below, where duplicated GENCODE track has the additional
+text &quot;(duplicate #1)&quot; on the label above the track display and &quot;#1&quot; text on
+the left label of the track display.</p>

+<p>
+For more information, see the "Duplicating a track" section of the
+<a target="_blank" href="help/hgTracksHelp.html#duplicate">Genome Browser User Guide</a>.</p>
+<p>
+We would like to thank Brian Joseph Raney, Max Haeussler, Jairo Navarro, and Gerardo Perez for
+their work on this release.</p>
