# Clone Programs

Accelerate the development of your next program's requirements via Program Clones. Requirements and Verifications in Cloned programs are fully modifiable in the destination program; updates are not synchronized between programs. Newly cloned requirements and verifications will start at version 1 without comments or peer reviews. 

If you want to clone subsets of requirements from one program into another program, see [Clone Multiple Requirements](/features/requirements/clone-multiple-requirements.md).

If you want to grant collaborator access to view subsets of existing requirements, see [Shared Programs](/features/programs/shared-programs.md).

## Cloning Process

Navigate to the Programs page and find the origin program of interest, and click the Copy icon.

Complete the Clone Program form, selecting which aspects you'd like to copy into the destination program. Click **Clone Program** to begin the process.

All copied data can be modified from the destination program. If you opt not to inherit users and permissions, approvers will be cleared. If you'd like to retain a custom attribute but clear the entered values in the cloned program, toggle **Clone Value** to off.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.violetlabs.com/features/programs/clone-programs.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
