About this task
You can copy a custom action that you created to give it a new name or move it to another application scope. The new action has the same action properties, inputs, steps, and outputs as the source action.
You can't copy the default actions created by ServiceNow, Inc., nor can you copy actions that have a protection policy. You must have write access to an action to copy it.
Procedure
Navigate to All > Process Automation > Workflow Studio.
On the homepage, select Actions.
Select the action that you want to copy.
Click the more actions icon (
More actions menu\) and select **Copy action**.
**Note:** If the **Copy action** option is not visible, then you don't have permission to copy the action. This could be because the action has a protection policy or because you lack the necessary user role or developer permissions.
