# Create a copy of a work set standard

Use an existing work set standard as a template to create a new work set standard.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn\_icw\_std.work\_set\_standard\_author

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **Workspaces** > **Digital Factory Workspace**.

2.  Open the work set standard from the Standards hub.

3.  From the overflow actions menu, select **Use as template for new standard**.

    This option is available for any state. You can create a work set standard with the same field values and sub-activities as the source standard.For sub-activities with **Schedule-based exception** selected, the custom schedule is also copied to the new standard and can be edited independently of the source.

4.  Update the field values and sub-activities as required.

    For field descriptions, see [Work set standard form](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/industrial-connected-workforce/digital-factory-workspace/work-set-standard-form.md).

5.  Select **Save**.

6.  When the standard is ready for review, select **Request approval**.


## Result

The copied standard is created as a new draft that you can edit and approve independently of the source standard.
