# Copy matrices in your projects

We’ve added a feature that allows you to **copy issue matrices** in your projects. Instead of recreating desired matrix configurations manually, you can make copies of them. You can quickly tune the new configurations (copies) to your needs by making slight changes.

You can run the copy action from:

- the **Edit Matrix **page, and
- the **Issue Matrices **page.

> ✅ When copying:
> ✅ 
> ✅ - R*estricted* and *deleted *linked projects are removed from the **Linked Projects** section in the copy. Any issue types related to *restricted* or *deleted* linked projects are removed too.
> ✅ - The rest of the source matrix' **configuration options are preserved** in the copy.
> ✅ - The copy is inactive until you enable it explicitly.
> ✅ - The new matrix is named *‘Copy of {source matrix' name}’*.
