## Duplicate managed data views [duplicate-managed-data-view]
```{applies_to}
stack: ga 9.2
```

Some data views are exclusively configured and **managed** by Elastic. You can view and use these managed data views, but you can't edit them. If you'd like to use a modified version of a managed data view, you can duplicate it and edit that new copy as needed. To do this:

1. Open the {{kib}} application where you want to use the data view. For example, **Discover** or **Lens**.
:::{note}
The duplication operation isn't available from the **Data Views** management page.
:::

2. In the data view selection menu, select the managed data view that you want to duplicate.

3. Still from the data view selection menu, select **Manage this data view**. A flyout with more details about the data view opens, and indicates that you can't edit it directly.

![Manage this data view option](../images/manage-this-data-view.png "Manage this data view option =50%")

4. Select **Duplicate**. A Similar flyout opens where you can adjust the settings of the new copy of the managed data view.

5. Finalize your edits, then select **Save data view to Kibana** or **Use without saving**, depending on your needs. By saving it to {{kib}}, you can retrieve it and use it again later.
