After a workflow is cloned, each workflow step contains the copied configuration. However, the steps remain in a Pending state until you open them and save the configuration. You can review and modify any configuration before saving it.

## Procedure

2. In the Issue workflows list, select the workflow that you want to clone.
3. Select Clone.
4. **Optional:** Update the workflow Name, Description, or Table.
5. Open each remaining workflow step and save the copied configuration.

## Result

A new workflow is created with the copied configuration.

## What to do next

Review and activate the workflow. See [Review and activate a workflow](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/I6NGmOLxxmH6ncfFXHb9Hw "Review the workflow configuration and activate the workflow so it can be applied to new issues.").
