# Create a copy of a PaCE policy version

You can create a copy of an existing policy version. All the settings and mappings from the existing version are copied over to the new one.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn\_pace.code\_editor

## About this task

When you create a new policy version from an existing one, the input definitions and the policy script from the original version are copied to the new version. The version is assigned a number according to policy numbering.

**Note:** The new policy version is initially created as a draft, with a revision number based on the original policy version. For further details about version states and numbering, see [PaCE policy version states](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/servicenow-platform/policy-as-code-engine-pace/pace-policy-version-states.md).

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Policies** > **My Policies**.

    **Note:** To view all policies generated by admin/other users, navigate to **Policies** > **All Policies**.

2.  Click the name of the policy for which a version is to be created.

3.  In the Policy Details page, click the **Versions** tab.

4.  Click the **Version name** link of the policy version that you want to copy.

5.  Click **Create New Draft**.

    A new copy of this policy version is created.

6.  Enter a description for the new version and click **Save**.
