# Duplicating Configuration Templates

You can create a duplicate of an existing configuration template, then edit it as desired. All settings, except for the template name and description, are copied from the original template.

**To duplicate a configuration template:**

1. Select **Settings > Configuration Template** in the navigation pane.  

The **Configuration Templates** page is displayed.
