# Copy formula versions

When working with long formulas or making slight changes between versions, it is useful to copy an existing version of a formula into a new version or into an existing version. Existing information on the lines is overwritten in the destination version.

When you use the **Copy Formula Version** function, a list of versions to select from appears.

## Steps

1. In the search box, enter **Formulas**, and then choose the related link.
2. Select the formula for which you will copy versions.
3. If you want to create a new version, follow the procedure for how to create new versions. Fill in the new version number before you copy. If you want to copy to an existing version, verify that this version can be overwritten and make sure the **Status** field is not set to **Certified**.
4. On the formula version card, on the **Actions** tab, in the **Functions** group, choose **Copy Formula Version**.

On the **Prod. BOM Version List** page, select a version and choose **OK**.

The lines of the selected version are copied into the current version, where you can further edit them.
5. Change the **Status** field to **Certified**.
