By right-clicking the `+` icon the step(s) can then be pasted to any step - in any workflow in any project.

When you copy a step you also copy the configuration.

**This will save you time and effort** especially in workflows that need several similar steps.

Some examples for wanting to repeat workflow steps include:

* You wish to **repeat a set of steps** and their configuration **in the same workflow.**
* The **same steps** are needed **in a separate** or [callable](#) workflow.
* You wish to create **similar but slightly different steps (paste then edit)**
* You wish to **save steps and their configuration for future use** in any workflow.

## Choosing a method

Where you wish to reproduce your workflow step will dictate the best copy / paste method:

### DUPLICATE\*\* \*\*

You wish to **create an identical / similar step** within your **current workflow** either next to or **in close proximity to your copied step**.

### COPY / PASTE\*\* \*\*

You wish to **create an identical / similar step in another section of your workflow**. Or within **a completely separate workflow**

### SAVE SNIPPET

You wish to **save this step and its configuration for repeated use long term**.
