# Create a copy of Self Help

Note:

The process of creating a copy of Self Help is the same for both the old and improved Self Help experience.

Whatfix enables you to create a copy of a Self Help segment and modify it as required. It reduces the time required to create a new segment and promotes reusability. The copied segment retains the same content, visibility rules, and search scope. Any changes made to the copy do not affect the original segment.

Note:

A copy of a Self Help segment can be created only in the widget section within the Dashboard.
