exact copy
Identical reproduced version
An exact copy is a duplicate that matches the original in every detail—no additions, omissions, or alterations.
The phrase emphasizes precision: Make an exact copy of the document before editing it.
In legal and technical contexts, exact copy stresses that nothing has been changed, distinguishing it from summaries, paraphrases, or approximations.
