# Add a Subagent from the Asset Library in the Legacy Builder

With standard subagents, your agents can start handling common business use cases quickly. You can create subagents and actions that are tailored to your business needs. When you add these subagents and actions to an agent, the agent gets its own, independent copy. Changes to template subagents and actions within the Asset Library aren't automatically sync'd to subagents and actions within your agent. Changes made to one agent's subagents or actions don't affect another agent's subagents or actions.

1. From the Agentforce Agents Setup page, launch your agent in Agentforce Builder.
2. If your agent is active, [deactivate it](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ai.copilot_setup_activate_deactivate.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Activate your agent to make it available to your customers or employees. When an agent is deployed to one or more channels, including the Agentforce panel, activating the agent makes it immediately available to your users.").
3. From the sidebar, select **Subagents**.
4. On the Subagents panel, click **New**, and then select **Add from Asset Library**.
5. Select one or more standard subagents you want to add to your agent, and then click **Finish**.

The subagents you’ve added are assigned to your agent and visible on the Subagents panel in Agentforce Builder. To test your new subagent, restart the preview conversation to apply your changes.

After you've added your subagent to your agent, you can [create a new version and edit any subagent fields or add or remove subagent actions](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ai.copilot_topics_edit.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Edit an out-of-the-box subagent to make sure it meets the needs of your specific use case and respects the right guardrails for your business."). Your changes apply to a single agent.
