# Copy a report

Make a copy of a report to make changes that don't affect the original report.

## Make a copy directly from the report

Make layout changes to the report by doing things like hiding columns or adding grouping. A blue dot appears over the More actions menu in the page bar to indicate changes have been made.

Open the More actions menu and select **Save report as**.

This saves the report as a personal report you can continue to change without affecting the original report.

## Copy a report from the report builder

You can also copy a report from within the report builder.

1. Open any report, then select the **Customize this report** icon in the page bar. ![Customize this report icon](https://cdn.document360.io/dd260e4e-10bb-4b66-8fb3-5504c272b904/Images/Documentation/34288735287316.png)
2. If you want to make changes to the report, do so.

4. Select **OK** to save the new report.
