# Copy your Interface for backup or experimentation

You might need to copy your MetaLocator Interface for several reasons.

* Create another Interface for a different webpage with some specific adjustment after you've perfected an existing Interface.
* Make a backup of your Interface before attempting some configuration experimentation.
* Preserve a historical copy of your Interface settings.

There are 2 ways one can copy settings from one Interface to another.

**1) The Duplicate function**  
 This function makes a complete copy of an existing interface with just a few clicks.  
 Great for experimentation and for building an Interface as a basis of another Interface.

**2) Export of Interface settings**  
 This creates a copy of the Interface settings on your computer. The content of this file can also be updated (using Import) into another existing Interface.  
 A great way to keep a copy of Interface settings on your computer for historical purposes or to update an existing Interface with settings of another.

If you are creating a new Interface that is intended for your visitors and not simply a backup or for experimentation, you must update your web page with the new Installation Code for that Interface.

## The Duplicate function

1. Select the Interface you wish to duplicate.
