# Copy experiments

> You can copy an experiment within the same Application or to a different one. The copy contains all the rules and settings of the original experiment, but coupons, achievements, referral codes, or stores are not copied.

> For the complete documentation index, see [llms.txt](https://docs.talon.one/llms.txt).

Copying an experiment is useful in the following scenarios:

- Recreating an experiment from your
  [sandbox Application](/docs/product/applications/overview.md#application-environments)
  in your live Application after you have tested it.
- Saving time and avoiding mistakes by using an existing experiment as
  a template.
- Adjusting rules in an active experiment. Rules in an active experiment are
  locked, so you must disable the current experiment and create a new version by
  copying it.

When copying an experiment, you can edit the following details:

- Experiment name
- Experiment description
- [Campaign evaluation group](/docs/product/applications/manage-campaign-evaluation.md)
- Tags
- [Schedule](/docs/product/campaigns/settings/manage-campaign-schedule.md)
- [Experiment type](/docs/product/campaigns/experiments/create-experiments#create-an-experiment)

A new experiment is created in a <StateLabel type="disabled" name="Disabled" /> state.

To copy an experiment:

1. From the left-side menu, click <Experiment className="icon"/> **Experiments** to open
   the experiment list.
1. Find the experiment you want to copy. In the experiment row, click the **Copy** <Copy
   className="icon" /> icon.
1. Select the destination Application to which you want to copy the experiment.
   If the experiment uses features such as a loyalty program or achievement that
   are not connected to the destination Application, you must connect them
   first.
1. Click **Copy experiment**.

   You can also copy an experiment in the
   [experiment dashboard](/docs/product/campaigns/experiments/manage-experiments#evaluate-experiment-results)
   by clicking <Copy className="icon" /> **Copy experiment** to the right of the
   experiment.
