# Duplicate a second-line record as an audit entry

# Duplicate a second-line record as an audit entry {#ariaid-title1}

* Release version: Australia
* 
* Updated May 29, 2026

* ![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read

Use the Duplicate as audit entry action to copy a second-line control, control objective, risk, or risk statement into a new third-line record. Each source record can be duplicated only
once.

## Before you begin

The source record must be a second-line record. The action is hidden on third-line records. The action is available on the following four objects only:

* Control objective
* Control
* Risk statement
* Risk
{#duplicate-record-as-audit-entry__ul_f4q_gkh_ljc}  
Note:  
If a third-line manager opens the original second-line record and selects Duplicate as audit entry, an error indicates that the record cannot be duplicated again. A source record can be duplicated only once and cannot be converted again to second line.

Role required: sn_audit_ws.third_line_manager

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllAuditAudit Workspace.
2. Select the list icon ![]().
3. Open the second-line record to duplicate.
4. From the More actions ![]() menu, select Duplicate as audit entry.  
   A new record opens with the same field values as the source record. The Name field is prefixed with Copy followed by the source record name. For example, a copy of Loss of Confidentiality opens as Copy Loss of Confidentiality.
5. **Optional:** Adjust any field values that should differ from the source record.
6. Select Save.  
   The new record is created as a third-line record and is stored as a copy of the source record. It retains a reference to the original record in the Audit entry source field, located under the Audit entry check box.
