Duplicate vs duplicate with Detailing?

[m_cahoon14336]

What is the difference between the two?

Create a view. Add some notes and dimensions. Duplicate it.

Result = view is duplicated without notes and dimensions.

now Duplicate with Detailing

Result = view is duplicated with notes and dimensions.

It sounds as though you have note done the tutorials? I highly recommend them. They are the most helpful source of Revit training around.
