Duplicate a workflow

Duplicate a workflow to create an independent copy that you can modify without affecting the original. Duplicating is useful when you want to reuse an existing workflow as a starting point for a new one.

Before you begin

  • You have workflow:create permission in the target project. Duplicating creates a new workflow, so it requires create permission rather than edit permission.

About this task

You can duplicate a workflow from the Workflows page or from the workflow builder.

Procedure

  • To duplicate from the Workflows page:
    1. On the Workflows page, locate the workflow you want to duplicate.
    2. Click the options menu (⋮) for the workflow row, and select Duplicate workflow.
  • To duplicate from the workflow builder:
    1. Open the workflow in the workflow builder.
    2. Click the options menu (⋮) in the builder toolbar, and select Duplicate workflow from the Actions group.

Results

  • Automation orchestrator creates a new workflow with the name <original-name> - duplicate-<id>, for example, new-workflow - duplicate-mtm23xyv.
  • A success alert appears with an Open workflow link. Click the link to open the duplicate in the workflow builder.
  • The duplicated workflow is an independent draft. Changes to the duplicate do not affect the original workflow.
Note:
If you have unsaved changes in the current workflow, a dialog prompts you to save or discard your changes before the duplicate opens.
