# Copy to Group

## What

Copy to Group creates another group membership for the same device in FileWave Anywhere. It does not create a new device record, erase inventory, or remove the device from its existing groups.

## When/Why

Use this action when a device should appear in more than one group. For example, you might keep a device in its normal location group and also copy it into a temporary testing, repair, or rollout group without moving it out of the original group.

## How

1. Open the [Devices view](https://kb.filewave.com/books/filewave-anywhere-help-menus/chapter/view-devices "View - Devices") in FileWave Anywhere.
2. Find the device, open the ellipsis menu (...) to the right of the row, and choose **Copy to Group(s)**.
3. Select the destination group or groups, then confirm the copy.
