You can also clone individual Tasks or Task Workflows if needed. #### To create a copy of a SciNote Experiment:  1. Navigateto the desired **Experiment row** within your SciNote Project 1. You can **duplicate Experiments** from the Table view of a Project (click the checkbox next to an Experiment and then 'Duplicate' from the bottom menu) 2. [![Duplicate an Experiment from Table View](https://knowledgebase.scinote.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Duplicate%20an%20Experiment%20from%20Table%20View.png?width=688&height=231&name=Duplicate%20an%20Experiment%20from%20Table%20View.png)](https://knowledgebase.scinote.net/hubfs/Duplicate%20an%20Experiment%20from%20Table%20View.png?hsLang=en) 2. **Click** on **Duplicate** on the bottom dropdown menu. 3. A pop out will appear, **select** the Project you wish to copy the Experiment to.  1. You can also choose to copy the Experiment to the same Project (i.e. current project) ![How to Make a Copy of an Experiment ](https://knowledgebase.scinote.net/hs-fs/hubfs/How%20to%20Make%20a%20Copy%20of%20an%20Experiment%20.png?width=605&name=How%20to%20Make%20a%20Copy%20of%20an%20Experiment%20.png) When you copy an Experiment, only the Experiment Description, configured Tasks/Workflows and Task Protocol Steps are copied. Task results, assigned users, comments, Experiment status and start/due dates are not copied. #### To create a copy of a SciNote Task:  1. Navigateto the desired **table view** within your SciNote Experiment 2. Click the checkbox next to a Task and then 'Duplicate' from the bottom menu 1. [![Duplicate Tasks within an Experimental Table View](https://knowledgebase.scinote.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Duplicate%20Tasks%20within%20an%20Experimental%20Table%20View.png?width=622&height=314&name=Duplicate%20Tasks%20within%20an%20Experimental%20Table%20View.png)](https://knowledgebase.scinote.net/hubfs/Duplicate%20Tasks%20within%20an%20Experimental%20Table%20View.png?hsLang=en) 2. This will create a duplicate of the Task within the same Experiment you're within. If you need to [Move the Task to a different Experimen](https://knowledgebase.scinote.net/en/knowledge/how-to-move-a-task-to-a-different-experiment?hsLang=en)t, you can do so.  #### To create a copy of a Task Workflow within the Experiment Canvas: You can also duplicate Tasks and [Task Workflows](https://knowledgebase.scinote.net/en/knowledge/how-to-create-tasks-and-workflows?hsLang=en) from the Experiment canvas page, but you first have to enter the **Edit workflow** mode. 1. Navigateto the **canvas view** within your desired SciNote Experiment 2. Click the **'Edit workflow'** button at the top 3. Within the editable canvas, click the arrow in the top right of any Task box 1. [![Experiment Canvas Edit Workflow Mode](https://knowledgebase.scinote.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Experiment%20Canvas%20Edit%20Workflow%20Mode.jpg?width=688&height=265&name=Experiment%20Canvas%20Edit%20Workflow%20Mode.jpg)](https://knowledgebase.scinote.net/hubfs/Experiment%20Canvas%20Edit%20Workflow%20Mode.jpg?hsLang=en) 4.  From the menu that pops up, decide whether you want to **clone (duplicate) just that one Task** or **clone the entire connected Task Workflow** (all Tasks that are connected by arrows to your selected Task) 1.
