It is a best practice to use groups when providing access to pages, so that it is not a tedious process to give access to additional pages to the same people. I would suggest creating groups and adding those pages to the appropriate groups.

A short-term workaround might be to do the following:

1. Go to the Admin Center and click on Pages,
2. Select the Dashboard 7 page and select move pages and make it a subpage of Dashboard 6 and choose Inherit permissions from parent page.

This will add all 165 people to the Dashboard 7 page.

You can then move it back to its original location by doing the move page function again and tell it to keep existing permissions.

There isn't a way to copy the list of shared users from one page to another easily. You'll need to manually share the page with each user / group.
