# Duplicating applications
<a name="applications-duplicate"></a>

Application owners and co-owners can duplicate their apps to create an exact copy of the app. Duplicating apps is helpful if you want to preserve the current state for testing purposes, or use the duplicated app as a starter to create a new app.

**To duplicate an application**

1. In the navigation pane, choose **My applications** in the **Build** section. You will be taken to a page displaying a list of applications that you have access to.

1. Choose the dropdown in the **Actions** column of the application you want to duplicate.

1. Choose **Duplicate**. If the **Duplicate** optional is not avaiable, you're likely not a owner or co-owner of the application.

1. Optionally provide a name of the duplicated app. The default name is *Current\$1App\$1Name COPY*.

1. Choose **Duplicate**.
