# Save and reuse a column

> Copy a column's setup to another table, or save it as a template you can apply again.

Copy a column's whole setup to try a variation, move it to another table, or save it as a template. Pick whichever matches how far the column needs to travel.

## Copy within a table

<Steps>
  <Step title="Duplicate the column">
    Open the column's menu and choose **Duplicate**. The copy carries the whole setup and lands right beside the original.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Try the variation">
    Edit the copy freely. Delete it if it doesn't work out; the original was never touched.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Move a column to another table

<Steps>
  <Step title="Copy the configuration">
    On the source table, open the column's menu and choose **Copy configuration**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Paste it on the target table">
    On the other table, open the add-column menu and choose **Paste configuration**. References to other columns remap by name, or show up broken if none matches.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Save a column as a template

<Steps>
  <Step title="Choose Save as template">
    Open a computed column's menu and choose **Save as template…**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Name it and pick what to capture">
    Name the template and tick every column it should include. References between the columns you pick are kept.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Apply it anywhere">
    On any table, click **Add column** and choose **Enrichment**. Switch that picker from **Actions** to **Templates** and pick it.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Good to know

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What is the difference between Duplicate and Copy configuration?">
    Duplicate makes a copy on the same table right away. Copy configuration puts the setup aside so you can paste it onto a different table instead.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Which columns can be saved as a template?">
    Anything except a column you type into yourself. Formula, enrichment, agent, export, imported and sequence columns all carry a setup worth saving.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What happens to a column's references when I paste or apply it elsewhere?">
    A reference to another column travels by name. If the target table has a column with a matching name, it reconnects. If not, it shows up broken so you can point it at the right column.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Who can see a template I save?">
    Anyone in your workspace. A template belongs to the whole organization, not just the table it came from.
  </Accordion>
