# Copying Content to a Workroom

Assette allows users to copy approved content from the **[Assette Library](https://learn.assette.com/docs/content-library-overview/)** not only into their personal **[My Workspace](https://learn.assette.com/docs/my-workspace/)**, but also into specific **[Workrooms](https://learn.assette.com/docs/workroom/)**. This enables teams to collaborate on pre-approved templates and content within shared workspaces. This article explains how to copy content into a Workroom and what to expect during the process.

## How to Copy Content to a Workroom

To copy content from the Assette Library into a Workroom:

1. **Open the Assette Library**: Locate the piece of approved content you wish to copy, such as a Smart Page or Smart Doc.
2. **Open the Action Menu**: Click the ellipses icon (`...`) next to the desired content.
3. **Select Copy to Workroom**: From the dropdown options, choose **"Copy to Workroom"**.
4. **Choose a Workroom**: A dialog box will prompt you to select a Workroom from a list of those to which you have access.
5. **Confirm the Copy**: After selecting the target Workroom, confirm the action to initiate the copy.

Once confirmed:

- The content will be duplicated into the chosen Workroom.
- You will receive a popup notification in the top right corner indicating the success of the operation.
- If the Workroom was already open in a browser tab, you may need to refresh it to see the newly copied content.

## Key Permissions and Limitations

- **Approved Library Content Only**: Users can only copy content that has been published and approved in the Assette Library. Content from the **Smart Pages** or **Smart Docs** screens, even if published, cannot be copied directly into a Workroom.
- **Workroom Access Required**: The user must have appropriate permissions to the selected Workroom in order to copy content into it.

## Handling Errors

If the content fails to copy, one of the following common issues may be the cause:

- **Offline or Session Timeout**: Ensure your internet connection is stable and that you are signed in to Assette.
- **Insufficient Permissions**: You must have access to both the Library content and the target Workroom.
- **Duplicate Content**: If the same content has already been copied into the selected Workroom, you may receive the following message: `Copy Failed! Content with the same name already exists. Name: {contentName}`
