# Create or Retrieve a Semantic Model

Get a semantic model into your workspace by retrieving an existing model from your org or by creating, extending, or cloning one.

Choose the approach that fits your goal:

- [Retrieve a Semantic Model from Your Org](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=analytics.c360_a_sl_retrieve_model.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Retrieve a semantic model from your org to edit it locally.") - To edit an existing model locally.
- [Create, Extend, and Clone Models](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=analytics.c360_a_sl_create_extend_clone_models.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Create, extend, and clone semantic models.") - To create a model, inherit from a base model, and duplicate one under a new name.

After you have a local model, see [Semantic Model Folder Structure](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=analytics.c360_a_sl_model_folder_structure.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "When you retrieve a model, the extension creates a folder with organized JSON files.") to understand the generated files.

- **[Create, Extend, and Clone Models](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=analytics.c360_a_sl_create_extend_clone_models.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Create, extend, and clone semantic models.
- **[Retrieve a Semantic Model from Your Org](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=analytics.c360_a_sl_retrieve_model.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**
