![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Create a copy of an existing workflow to use as a starting point for a new workflow.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn_grc_issue_mgmt.issue_workflow_admin

## About this task

Cloning a workflow copies its layout, state model, playbook, state-to-stage mappings, and approvals. The cloned workflow does not copy the trigger condition or priority, and is created with a status of In Progress.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllGRC Issue AdministrationIssue Workflows.
2. Open the workflow that you want to clone.
3. Select Clone workflow.
4. Enter a name for the cloned workflow.  
   If you don't provide a name, the new workflow is named after the original, with (copy) appended.
5. Select Clone.

## Result

The cloned workflow opens with a status of In Progress. You must set the trigger condition and priority, then activate the workflow before it takes effect.

## What to do next

Set the trigger condition and priority. See [Set the trigger condition and priority for a workflow](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/Z8S2zjSL60gkpTw2yEIsWg "Define which issues a workflow applies to and determine the order in which it is evaluated relative to other workflows on the same table."). Then review and activate the workflow. See [Review and activate a workflow](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/wMAogUK8rr6KD_pRYZKooQ "Review the workflow configuration and activate the workflow so it can be applied to new issues.").
