# Copying Content to My Workspace

The **[Assette Library](https://learn.assette.com/docs/content-library-overview/)** provides users with a curated collection of approved and reusable content such as Smart Pages and Smart Docs. To customize or work with this content in your own workspace, you can create a personal copy within **[My Workspace](https://learn.assette.com/docs/my-workspace/)**. This article describes how to copy content from the Assette Library and outlines key behavior and troubleshooting tips.

## How to Copy Content to My Workspace

To copy content from the Assette Library to My Workspace, follow these steps:

1. **Navigate to the Assette Library**: Locate the approved content you wish to copy (e.g., a Smart Page).
2. **Access the Action Menu**: Click the ellipses icon (`...`) next to the content.
3. **Initiate Copy**: Select the option **"Copy to My Workspace"** from the dropdown menu.
4. **Confirm the Action**: A confirmation dialog will appear. Review the prompt and click to confirm the copy.

Once the action is confirmed:

- A copy of the selected content will be created in ****[My Workspace](https://learn.assette.com/docs/my-workspace/)****.
- You will see a popup notification in the top right corner indicating the success of the copy operation.
- If you already have a browser tab with ****[My Workspace](https://learn.assette.com/docs/my-workspace/)**** open, refresh the tab to view the new content.

## Important Behavior and Permissions

- **Only Approved Library Content**: Users can copy only **approved content** from the Library. Content cannot be copied directly from the **Smart Pages** or **Smart Docs** screens—even if the content is published.
- **Single Copy Limitation**: You cannot copy the same item multiple times. Attempting to do so will result in an error.

## Common Errors and Troubleshooting

If the copy operation fails, users may see an error message or experience no changes. Follow these steps to resolve common issues:

- **Ensure you are online**: Connectivity issues can prevent the copy from completing.
- **Verify you are signed in**: Session timeouts or sign-out events can interrupt the operation.
- **Check permissions**: You must have the necessary permissions to copy content from the Library.
- **Ensure content is not already copied**: If a copy with the same name already exists in My Workspace, the following message will appear: `Copy Failed! Content with the same name already exists. Name: {contentName`}.
