# Clone Tests
> Create a copy of any assessment to add questions, edit items, or build a new version
Cloning an assessment creates a copy that you can edit independently: add questions, rearrange items, or adjust content: without changing the original test. You can clone from the Tests tab or from the Assignments tab.
## Clone from the Tests Tab
1. In the navigation menu, click **Tests** or **Assignments**.
2. Click the assessment you want to clone.
3. Select an assessment you created, one shared with you, or one shared with the Pear Assessment community.
4. Click the **Assessment** card, then click **Clone**.
5. Click **Clone**. A new test ID is created and the cloned test appears in your **Created By Me** section.
## Clone from the Assignments Tab
1. In the navigation menu, click **Assignments**.
2. At the end of the assignment row, click **Actions**.
3. Click **Duplicate**.
4. The cloned assessment uses the same title as the original with the date and time appended. You can edit the title at this point.
5. Add items from the **Item Bank** or create your own items.
When reviewing the test on the **Review** tab, you can change the item order, delete items, or preview items. To clone an individual item, click **Preview**.
In the **Preview** popup, click **Clone** to clone the item. The **Clone** button is not available for items from licensed Premium Content.
Cloned items exist separately from the original items. Delete the original item if you want the cloned version to replace it in the assessment.
## Frequently Asked Questions
### If I Clone a Test, Will a New Test ID Be Created?
Yes. To find the cloned test, click the **Tests** tab and clear all filters. The cloned test appears with a different test ID.
### What Happens to the Items in a Cloned Test?
The items retain the same item ID and display the original author's name. You can edit items in the cloned test: when you save those edits, a new item ID is created. Edits apply only to the cloned test and do not affect the original.
