# Cloning the template

You can use this function to save time and avoid repeating the same steps when creating similar product templates.

To use the “*Clone template*” function, follow these steps:

* Go to the “*Product templates*” and click on the "*edit (pen) icon*" next to the product template that you want to clone. This will open the product template in edit mode.

* Click on the “*Clone template*” option. This will open a new window where you need to enter a code for the new product template. Code must be unique and different from the original product template, and consist of letters, digits, or underscore symbols only.

* Click on the “*Clone*” button to create the new product template. This will clone all the settings and sections of the original product template. You can see the new product template in the list in the "*Main template*" tab, with the code that you entered.
* Alternatively, you can click on the “*Clone & Edit*” button to create the new product template and open it in edit mode. This will allow you to make any changes to the new product template, such as adding or deleting sections, changing the order of the sections, or assigning a completeness set.

You can use the “*Clone template*” function to create multiple product templates with similar layouts and features. This can help you streamline your product management and enrichment process in Ergonode PIM.
