# Clone a synonym dictionary

Create a copy of an existing synonym dictionary.

## Before you begin

Role required: ais\_admin

## About this task

Cloning a synonym dictionary copies the source dictionary's settings and all of its defined synonym terms. This process can save you time when you need multiple synonym dictionaries that have many synonym terms in common.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **AI Search** > **Search Query Settings** > **Dictionaries**.

2.  Expand the Synonym record group if necessary and open the synonym dictionary that you want to clone.

3.  Select **Clone**.

4.  In the Set Dictionary Label dialog box, enter a label for the new synonym dictionary in the **Cloned dictionary label** field and select **OK**.


## Result

The new synonym dictionary form opens. All synonym terms defined in the source dictionary appear in the AI Search Dictionary Terms related list.
