# How to duplicate a circle?

To help you save time building your organization, and because sometimes teams are based on the same structure, Holaspirit allows you to create a circle by copying it from an existing one.

# Who can duplicate a circle? 

Members of the circle holding the one to duplicate can copy it. 

# What information is duplicated?

Duplicating a circle copies the **name of the circle, subcircles** and the **roles** (including **role templates**) within it. You can choose the roles and subcircles you want included in your new circle and modify its name when creating it.

The **Purpose**, **Accountabilities**, **Domains** and **Custom fields** will be added to the new circle by default. If you wish to edit them, you'll have to do it after the circle has been created, through a governance proposal.

The operational items (Checklist, Metrics, Projects, Actions, Documents, and OKRs) **will not be duplicated** in the new circle.

📌 **Note**: If core roles are in place in your organization, they will automatically be added to the new circle.

* Choose the circle to copy from the drop-down list (if you cannot find it right away, **type its name**)
* Rename it if necessary
* Tick the boxes next to subcircles and roles you want to copy within that circle
* Depending on the decision-making settings defined for your organization, either **Save it as a proposal**, **Submit** the proposal to your circle or **Validate** this evolution.
