# Duplicate a badge

You may wish to create a new badge based on an existing one, or one that uses very similar settings. If this is the case then you can duplicate an existing badge.

## Duplicate a site badge

1. Go to *Quick-access menu > Badges.*
2. Click the icon of two pieces of paper (![](https://cdn.document360.io/a007399b-031e-436b-999a-528240e16f58/Images/Documentation/clone_icon(1).png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-10T18%3A23%3A23Z&se=2026-11-10T19%3A23%3A23Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=bjPVjgyw4bBeQZY60jYYax1KEwASNF0BCFIg3j1bR3g%3D)) next to the badge you want to duplicate.

You can now edit the new badge's details and criteria before enabling it.
