# Copy a flow from sandbox to production

> Duplicate a flow you built in sandbox, then point its connections at production and publish it.

Build and test a flow in your sandbox, then copy it to production. You duplicate the flow in Workflow Builder and switch its connections to production. You don't need to export or import anything.

<Info>
  Workflow Builder must be enabled for your production organization. To have it turned on, contact [support.firstresonance.io](https://support.firstresonance.io).
</Info>

## Copy a flow

1. In sandbox ION, open **Workflow Builder** and find the flow you want to copy.
2. Open the flow's three-dot menu and select **Duplicate**.
3. Rename the copy. For example, add "Production" to the name so you can tell the two flows apart.
4. In the trigger step, change the **Connection** to a production connection. Select an existing production connection, or click **Add new connection** and enter the production [API key](/api/authentication/api-keys) credentials, as described in [Create a flow](/automate-with-ion/workflow-builder/create-a-flow#trigger-a-flow-from-an-ion-event).
5. In every other **ion-api** step, change the **Connection** to the same production connection.
6. Save and publish the new version.

<Warning>
  Each step uses the connection you select. A step that keeps its sandbox connection still points at sandbox, so check every **ion-api** step before you publish.
</Warning>
