Role required: admin, activity_admin, activity_creator

About this task

Note: You cannot copy an activity in a private scope.

Procedure

1. To reuse an activity in the global scope, expand the parent category to display the activities.

2. Right-click the activity you want to copy and select one of these options:

   • Copy into global scope as new activity: Copies the activity with the new name you provide, uses the same version number as the original activity, and moves it to the global scope in the Custom tab.

-   Copy into global scope as new version: Copies the activity using the same name, increments the version number, and moves it to the global scope in the **Custom** tab. The system automatically adds the parent category to the **Custom** tab if it does not already exist. This action will overwrite another activity with the same name and version number.

**Note:** If the activity is in any other scope but global, the system displays this message: `Cannot copy privately scoped activity`.
