# Clone integrations


Cloning an integration creates a full copy of its original integration version. You can use cloning to create a new integration version within the same integration, or to create a completely new independent integration that is a full copy of the original integration version.

## Clone within the same integration

To clone of an integration version within the same integration, perform the following steps:

1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the **Application Integration** page.

   [Go to Application Integration](https://console.cloud.google.com/integrations)
2. Click **Integrations** from the left navigation menu to open the **Integrations** page.
3. Select the existing integration that you want to clone. <br />

4. Click the **Versions** dropdown and select the version you want to clone.
5. In the designer toolbar, click (Actions menu) and select **Clone integration**.
6. Select **Create new version** .

   The **Create new version** pane appears.
7. (Optional) Enter a name for the new clone version.
8. Click **OK**.
9. A new clone of the integration version is created in the same integration.

## Clone as a new integration

To create a new independent integration that is a full copy of the original integration version, perform the following steps:

1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the **Application Integration** page.

   [Go to Application Integration](https://console.cloud.google.com/integrations)
2. Click **Integrations** from the left navigation menu to open the **Integrations** page.
3. Select an existing integration that you want to clone. <br />

4. Click the **Versions** dropdown and select the version you want to clone.
5. In the designer toolbar, click (Actions menu) and select **Clone integration**.
6. Select **Create new integration from current version** .

   The **Create new integration** pane appears.
7. Enter a name and a description for the clone integration.
8. Select a **Region** for the clone integration from the list of [supported regions](https://docs.cloud.google.com/application-integration/docs/locations).
9. Click **Create** .

   A new cloned integration is created in the selected region.

## Considerations

- Cloning an integration doesn't clone the authentication profiles associated with that integration. You must manually create a copy of the associated authentication profiles in the same region as the cloned integration. For information about creating authentication profiles, see [Create authentication profiles in Application Integration](https://docs.cloud.google.com/application-integration/docs/configuring-auth-profile)
- You can't have two integrations with the same name in the same region.
