# Copy, delete, rename, move a Capsule

This topic describes how to copy, delete, rename, and move an existing Capsule.

## Copy a Capsule

**To copy a Capsule**, you need to select "Save as" from the right click menu. You can copy a Capsule either by right clicking over the Capsule tile or over the Capsule's name in the tree diagram from the left panel.

From the left panel or from a Capsule tile, proceed as follows:

1. Right click over a Capsule tile or Capsule name in the left panel.
2. Click on "Save as".
3. Choose a name for the copied Capsule and choose where to save it.

> [!NOTE]
> *The Capsule name must be unique and must not have already been used at the same folder level. You can save the copied Capsule in any existing folder or in the root folder, named "Capsules". Capsule names must follow the* [*specific Capsule naming guidelines*](/v1/docs/create-a-new-capsule)*.*
4. Click "OK". The Capsule browser will refresh and the newly copied Capsule will appear both in the selected destination and in the tree diagram in the left panel.
