# Cloning a player with the Clone Center > Documentation release: **FMRTE 27** (published release). The **Clone Center** tab on a player's page copies that player onto other players. It does not create a new player: every player you add under **Players to Replace** keeps their place in the game, and their own values are overwritten with the open player's. To copy a saved profile from a file instead, use [Export and Import](https://docs.fmrte.com/tools/export-and-import.md).  ## Clone a player 1. Open the player you want to copy and select **Clone Center**. 2. Check **Clone** and **From**. They show the open player and their club, or **Free Player**. 3. Under **Players to Replace**, select **+** and search for a player to overwrite. Repeat for each player. 4. Under **What to copy**, clear anything you want the players on the list to keep. 5. Select **Clone**. 6. Look for **All the players on the list were successfully cloned**, then check the players in Football Manager. Clone writes straight away. There is no confirmation step, so check the list and the tree before selecting it. ## Players to Replace The list shows each player's name and club. - **+** (**Add**) opens the player search. Adding the open player, or a player already on the list, does nothing. - **−** (**Remove**) removes the selected player from the list. It does not change the player. **Clone** is available once the list has at least one player. After a clone the list is emptied. ## What to copy Everything starts ticked. Tick or clear a group to change all its fields, or expand it to choose single fields. A group box shows a mixed state when only some of its fields are ticked. | Group | What it copies | | --- | --- | | **Personal Details** | First, last and common name, date of birth, city of birth, nation, height, ethnicity, skin colour, hair colour and length, asking price, morale, days in the country and retiring. | | **Ability** | Current and potential ability. | | **Reputation** | World, current and home reputation. | | **International** | International caps and goals, and under-21 caps and goals. | | **Goalkeeper** | The goalkeeping attributes. | | **Technical** | The technical attributes. | | **Mental** | The mental attributes. | | **Physical** | The physical attributes, including left and right foot. | | **Personality** | The personality attributes. | | **Hidden** | Consistency, dirtiness, important matches, injury proneness and versatility. | | **Positions** | Every position rating. | | **Preferred Moves** | The player's preferred moves. | ## What is never copied - The date a player joined their club. Each player keeps their own. - The city of birth, when the open player has none. The other player keeps theirs. - Anything outside the tree, such as club, contract, statistics, relationships and languages. Each cloned player's rating is recalculated the next time it is read. ## Save and undo Saving the page while **Clone Center** is open does the same as **Clone**: if the list has players, they are cloned. Adding a player and cloning need a valid licence. Without one, FMRTE asks you to activate first. A clone appears in [Edit History](https://docs.fmrte.com/tools/edit-history.md) as one entry that **cannot be undone**. To go back, change the values on each player again.
