Start a new policy using an existing policy as a template.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn_ai_governance.ai_steward

## About this task

Clone a policy when you want to start a new version from an existing one, without changing what's already published. The clone is a separate, independent policy; the original keeps running until you delete it.

For example:

* Clone an Explicit Block policy when you want to scope the same block to a different set of users or models without changing the original. You can also edit an Explicit Block policy directly; see [Edit an Explicit Block policy](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/dJD5HkNuqZ25NUbRUbthhg "Change who an Explicit Block policy blocks, what they're blocked from using, or its follow-up actions, without recreating the policy."). Once your clone is confirmed working, delete the original if you no longer need it.
* Clone a Threat Response policy when you want to test a variant of its threat type, scope, or sensitivity without changing the original. You can also edit a Threat Response policy directly; see [Edit a Threat Response policy](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/picWr~3YqHi1_PPFTbGovw "Change an existing Threat Response policy's threat type, scope, sensitivity, or follow-up actions."). Once your clone is confirmed working, delete the original if you no longer need it.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllAI Control TowerHomeGovernPolicies.
2. Find the policy that you want to clone.
3. In the More actions menu, select Clone.
4. **Optional:** Update the cloned policy's conditions.
5. Select Publish.

## Result

The policy is cloned with any optional updates that you added. The original policy stays in force.

## What to do next

Once the clone is confirmed working as expected, you can delete the original if it's no longer needed. For details, see [Delete a policy](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/yDdciTdYPGJOcg7nYUer8w "Remove a policy you no longer need.").
