# Copy an app to another workspace
Copy an app to another workspace [#copy-an-app-to-another-workspace]
A copy is a separate app in the other workspace, owned by you; the original stays where it is and keeps working.
You can copy an app you can open if you are a member of the workspace it was built in. The copy goes into any other workspace where your role has **Create Agents** (every built-in role has it).
Copy an app [#copy-an-app]
1. In the workspace the app was built in, select **Apps** in the sidebar.
2. Point at the app's card and select **Copy to workspace**.
3. Select the workspace to copy into, then **Copy**.
4. Switch to that workspace. The copy is on its **Apps** page, marked **Copied**.
* The copy starts the first time someone opens it, which can take a moment.
* Copying the same app into the same workspace again does not make a second copy: the message says the app is already there.
* **Copy to workspace** is missing on an app whose files have not been saved yet, and on an app with more than 100 MiB of files.
What the copy takes along [#what-the-copy-takes-along]
| Part | In the copy |
| ------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| The app's code and the files in it | Copied as the original last saved them. |
| The agent that builds the app | Copied as its published version, so you can change the copy by chatting. |
| Connections the app and its agent use | Copied. Connections that sign in each person separately need every member to connect again; the message after copying says how many. |
| The agent's knowledge files | Copied into the other workspace's Library. |
| Secrets | Copied, except the app's own Alomana key, which is replaced by a new one in your name. |
| Name | Unchanged. |
| Visibility | **Space** if the other workspace has other members, otherwise **Private**, whatever the original's. |
| Version | Starts again at **v1**. |
| Chat history | Not copied. The copy has a new, empty chat. |
| Data the app shows from connectors | Not copied. The copy loads it for each person who opens it. |
Update a copy from the original [#update-a-copy-from-the-original]
When the original changes after you copied it, the copy's card shows **Update available**.
1. Select **Update available** on the copy's card.
2. The copy takes the original's latest code and files, and restarts the next time it is opened.
* Updating replaces the copy's code and files, including changes you made to the copy by chatting.
* Secrets, visibility, name, description and the copy's agent stay as they are.
* You need to be able to change the copy, and still be a member of the original's workspace.
* If the original was deleted, the message says there is nothing to update from.
For copying apps with an API key, see [Hosted agent apps](/docs/api/configurable-agents/apps) in the API documentation.
