# Duplicate a performance activity

When you want to create a new performance activity it can be quicker to use an existing activity as a starting point, then edit the settings or content before assigning it to users.

1. Go to *Quick-access menu > Activity management* (/mod/perform/manage/activity/index.php)*.*
2. Click the icon of three dots (![](https://cdn.document360.io/a007399b-031e-436b-999a-528240e16f58/Images/Documentation/three_dots.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-06T08%3A01%3A41Z&se=2026-11-06T09%3A01%3A41Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=kMrzok%2FumGA5lpRvnqdE2QZIPoncld35mx2%2BXcHMv90%3D)) alongside the activity you wish to duplicate.
3. Select **Clone** from the dropdown list.

Cloning a performance activity will duplicate everything in the activity (content, settings, and the structure of the activity) but users' participation in it is not cloned.

The new cloned activity will automatically have the **Draft** status.

When you clone a performance activity Totara creates a backup of the activity and restores it to create a new copy.
