# Duplicate, delete, copy, or move an answer in an exploration

Duplicate, delete or reorder an individual question and response from inside an exploration. Yiou can also copy a response to another exploration.

## Before you begin

Role required: now\_assist\_explorer\_user and editing rights to the exploration

## About this task

Duplicate a response when you want to modify a response slightly while preserving the unmodified version. For example, you might want to see what the response looks like with a different group-by value. You could also duplicate a response and refresh only one version, to compare the old and new values.

Copy a response when you want to share only a response, not the whole exploration, with another user. Copy the response to an existing exploration that the user can access, or copy it to a new exploration and share that exploration with the user. You can use this function to give yourself an editable version of the response in an exploration you own.

## Procedure

1.  Launch AI Data Explorer.

    See [Launch AI Data Explorer](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/now-intelligence/launch-ai-data-explorer.md).

2.  Open the exploration that contains a question and answer that you want to duplicate, delete, copy and send, or move.

    See [Open an existing exploration](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/now-intelligence/open-existing-exploration.md).

3.  Point the cursor at the question and answer.

    A control appears next to the question and answer.

4.  Point at the drag handle, which is a rectangle of dots.
