Note If you’re using a free org, such as a Developer org, you can have up to 500 email templates, of any kind, in that org.

Cloning an email template involves saving an existing email template with a new name.

1. Choose one of these options.
    - If you have permission to edit public templates, from Setup, enter Email Templates in the Quick Find box, then select **Classic Email Templates**.
    - If you don’t have permission to edit public templates, go to your personal settings. Enter Templates in the Quick Find box, then select **Email Templates** or **My Templates**—whichever one appears.
2. Click the name of an email template in the list.
3. Click **Clone**.
4. Choose a folder in which to store the template.
5. To make the template available for use, select the **Available For Use** checkbox.
6. Enter an email template name.
7. Enter a description for the template. Both the template name and the description are for your internal use only.
8. Click **Save**.
