# Duplicate a free-form roadmap

Create a roadmap with the data of an existing roadmap. If the roadmap you want to create is similar to an existing roadmap, duplicating the existing roadmap saves your time.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn\_align\_core.apw\_user

## About this task

Create a standalone roadmap to plan work across multiple units of your organization, such as projects of all departments. To learn more about free-form roadmaps, see [Roadmaps in Portfolio Planning](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-business-management/portfolio-planning/roadmaps-in-portfolio-planning.md).

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **Workspaces** > **Portfolio Planning Workspace** > **Portfolio Planning** > **Free-form Roadmaps**

2.  Select a roadmap that you want to create a copy from.

3.  From the roadmap header, select the More actions icon \(\[Omitted image "more-actions.png"\] Alt text: More actions icon in the free-form roadmap header.\) and then select **Duplicate roadmap**.

4.  On the Duplicate roadmap window, fill the details.

    1.  Enter a name for the roadmap in the **Roadmap name** field.

        By default, the name is **ABC \(Copy\)** where ABC is the name of the roadmap you copied from.

    2.  Select **Share with same users and groups** option to grant access to the users of the roadmap you copied from.

        The action grants same read and edit access as is the users had for the roadmap you copied from.

    3.  Select **Confirm**.


## Result

-   A new roadmap is created and a link is generated on the screen to access the new roadmap.
-   This roadmap is listed in the **Free-form roadmaps** tab of the Home page of Portfolio Planning Workspace.

## What to do next

-   Update, personalize, and collaborate with your roadmap.
-   Add milestones or create dependencies for the items planned on your roadmap.
