# Duplicate a Process skill

> How to duplicate Process skills and manage their referenced activities.

Duplicate a Process skill to customize it or create multiple copies.

<Warning>
  Duplicating a Process skill does not duplicate the Classification and Document skills it references — the duplicates reuse the originals. If those skills are configured to train automatically from verification results, they will train on results from every Process skill that references them, including the duplicates. To isolate a copy, duplicate its referenced skills manually.
</Warning>

To give the copy its own Classification and Document skills, duplicate the Process skill manually:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Duplicate the Process skill">
    Duplicate the appropriate Process skill.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Duplicate the referenced skills">
    Duplicate every Classification and Document skill referenced by the Process skill from step 1.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Edit the skill duplicates">
    Edit the skill duplicates if required.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Publish the skill duplicates">
    Publish the skill duplicates.

    <Note>
      Unpublished skills can't be selected for editing.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Swap in the duplicated skills">
    Edit the Process skill duplicate from step 1. In the Skill Designer:

    * Click the workflow activity.
    * Delete the existing Classification or Document skill by clicking the **Delete** icon to the right of the skill name in the **Actions** pane.
    * In the drop-down in the **Actions** pane, select the corresponding skill duplicate created in step 2.
    * Repeat for each relevant Process skill activity.
  </Step>
</Steps>
