# Copying an Existing Dashboard

Often, it can be more efficient to create a copy of an existing Dashboard and to customize it to your liking instead of creating a Dashboard from scratch. Learn how to copy, or clone, an existing Dashboard below.

## Create a Copy/Clone of a Dashboard

To create a copy or clone of an existing Dashboard:

- Open an existing Dashboard from the Dashboard selection dropdown box.
- Click the three dots menu in the top right corner of the Dashboard.
- Select **Save as (clone)**.

Save a Copy of an Existing Dashboard.

- Next, fill in the fields on the **Dasdboard: Save as (clone)** dialog.
  - **Name**: Auto-populated with the name of the original Dashboard plus the suffix **copy by (*Username*) (1)**.
  - **Description**: Auto-populated with text containing the original Dashboard name and date of creation.
  - **Visibility**: Set the visibility to Public, or Public and editable only by owner, if you want the Dashboard copy to be visible to all users. Otherwise, select Private.
- Click **Save**.
