# Duplicate a Project

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

You can duplicate projects in API Designer. You might want to duplicate a project if you need to
make extensive changes to the project without losing the original on which the duplicate project is
based.

Any dependencies that are listed in the original project are retained in the duplicate project.

## Before You Begin

- Ensure that the mocking service is not turned on.

- Ensure that the project is not in read-only mode.

## Procedure

1.  Open the project.

2.  Click the gear icon in the top-right corner of the editor.

3.  Select **Duplicate**.

4.  Name the duplicate project and click **Duplicate**.

## Result

API Designer opens a new browser tab that displays the new project. If the original project is in
the text editor, the duplicate project is opened in the text editor. If the original project is in
the visual editor, the duplicate project is opened in the visual editor.

If the original was in a sub-branch, the duplicate is on the same sub-branch.

The duplicate project is listed in Design Center’s project list.
