# Duplicating Services

The Duplicate Service Wizard lets you add one or more services to a customer's account by duplicating a similar service that already exists in that customer's account. When duplicating a service, the existing service is used as a template for the new services. All catalog items assigned to the existing service are assigned to the new services. Any Sub Services that exist are not duplicated.

**Notes:**

- The Duplicate Service function is only available if permissions to view it are enabled.
- All windows in this wizard provide an **Actions** button for editing orders, viewing order errors, and viewing pre-order responses. For details see [Actions](/v1/docs/actions).

To duplicate a service:

1. From the **Services** tab, right-click on an active service and select **Duplicate**.

OR

From any window in the New Customer Wizard or the Add Service(s) & Feature(s) Wizard that displays services, right-click on the active service and select **Duplicate**. This displays the Order Information window.

**Notes:**
  - Only active services can be duplicated, including products with a future date.
  - Products assigned to a duplicated service automatically inherit the start and end date of the new service. If the service being duplicated contains Sub Services, the Sub Services are NOT duplicated.
