# How To Duplicate Existing Content

## Learn how to make an exact copy of your existing subjects, topics, and steps.

Depending on each **[grouping](https://help.trainual.com/en/articles/8190371-groups?hsLang=en)** within your company, there may be times when learning opportunities are shared and when they are more team-specific. Duplicating your existing Trainual content can help you save time and effort when creating group-specific learning courses by ensuring all your employees *only receive* the same information when and where they need it.

👉 Before you start:

- All plans have access to this feature option.
- The following content creator **[permission levels](https://help.trainual.com/en/articles/5589497-permission-levels?hsLang=en)** have the ability to duplicate a subject, topic, or step:
  
    - Billing Admins and Admins.
- Topics and steps can be duplicated by anyone on a subject who has a **[content access](https://help.trainual.com/en/articles/5575360-manage-subject-content-access?hsLang=en)** level of "Edit."
- While you can duplicate content at the subject, topic, or step level, remember that this information is *not* interconnected. An update to one copy of this content will not automatically update the other.

 To make a duplicate copy of content:

1. **Navigate to your** **subject** by heading to the *Content*page. If you're making a copy of a topic or step, you'll likely need to **expand your content subject outline viewing** by using the drop-down arrows on the left.

2. **Click the three dots** to the far right-hand side of any subject, topic, or step you'd like to duplicate.
3. Select "**Duplicate**" from the drop-down menu.
4. **Choose a name** for your duplicated content when the pop-up window prompts. If you keep the default name for the copied content, the system will add the word "duplicate" at the end of the copy's title name.
5. Click "**Save**" to finalize. The copy will automatically be routed to the same location as the previous content (for example, a duplicated step will be under the same topic where the original is located.)

🔥 **Tip:** To relocate your duplicated content to another area in Trainual, **[use the "Move to" feature option](https://help.trainual.com/en/articles/5600776-move-a-subject-topic-or-test?hsLang=en)**.
