# Copy an audit

New audits can be created from an existing audit.

## Procedure

1.  Open the audit record you want to copy.

2.  Change the name or short description to distinguish this audit from the original.

3.  Make any other changes you need.

4.  Right-click in the header bar and select either Insert or Insert and Stay from the context menu.

    The system clears the **Last run date** field and inserts the record into the database.
