# Create a copy of a Beacon

Whatfix enables you to create a copy of a Beacon and modify it.

:::(Warning) (Note)
A copy of the Beacon can be created in both the widget and content sections within the Dashboard.

* The content section copy enables you to modify and customize the Beacon.

* The Widget section copy enables you to edit visibility rules, incorporate Beacons into a collection, and attach content.
