1. From Setup in Lightning Experience, enter External Services in the Quick Find box, and select **External Services**.
2. Under Actions, next to the name of the external service that you want to recreate, click **Save As**.
3. Modify the external service name so that it’s different from the original registration. If you don’t provide a name, External Services automatically adds the prefix **CopyOf** in front of the existing external service name.
4. Verify or change the named credential used, description, schema URL, YAML, or JSON.
5. Click **Save & Next**.
6. If needed, modify the selected operations.
7. Click **Next**.
8. Click **Done**.
9. Update the flows that use the actions from the original external service. To locate actions for External Services registrations, filter the actions by type, and select **External Service**. To find actions that aren’t from External Services registrations, filter by type, and select **Apex Action**.
10. Return to External Services in Setup.
11. Under Actions, for the original external service that you recreated, click **Delete**.
