I suspect you can do multiple worksheets/tabs at a time. Of course another way is to simply copy the entire file and then you have all the tabs/worksheets in the new file. Maybe need to add or delete a couple.

LibreOffice: 4.1.6.2 I have two separate ODS files: 2014 and 2015 I want to copy a sheet (the entire sheet) from 2014 to 2015. Is this possible, and if so, what is the recommended method? Actually, there are a few sheets I want to copy from 2014 to 2015, but one at a time. Thank you Regards Fred James Sorry ... silly me ... the answer is too easy ... 1) go to file to copy from 2) go to the sheet to copy 3) Edit - Select All 4) go to file to paste into 5) go to (or make) sheet to paste into 6) select cell A1 7) Edit - Paste Special Bingo! Thanks Regards Fred James Tom Davies Thank you for your reply and your solution ... I shall put that in my notes for the future, as I do this same operation periodically ... but too far apart to trust memory. My original approach was to just copy the whole file and modify as needed ... the problem I have with that is that I do the file copy a few weeks early (for example early in December for a new file that begins in January) ... reason: some December activity actually needs to be recorded in January as well. That leaves me with certain sheets that will need a lot of updating, and just replacing them is so much simpler ... your mileage may vary, of course. Either copy solution (the one I stumbled upon, or the one suggested by Tom) will do what I need quite nicely ... in the case of Tom's solution, I will have to delete an older sheet in the new file, after copying in the newest version (I have tested it), but that shouldn't be a show stopper, eh? The copy process does not allow duplicate names (or overwriting), and so appends a _2 (for example) to the name of the newly inserted sheet.

Thanks Regards Fred James There is a quicker way, particularly if you want to copy several sheets... 1) Open both files 2) Go to file to copy from 3) Select the sheet (to copy more than one at the same time, hold Ctrl while clicking each sheet's tab - selected ones change colour, from grey to white for me but that probably varies between systems) 4) Right click on one of the selected tabs and choose Move/Copy Sheet 5) Select Copy action, required file to copy to, and where to place the copies in that file relative to any existing sheets 6) Click OK and you're done. If you really want to copy them one at a time for some reason, you can just repeat those steps, selecting a different sheet each time at step 3.
