Currently, the Athena console does not have an option to to copy a saved query from one workgroup to another directly, but you can perform the same task manually by using the following procedure.

**To copy a saved query between workgroups**

1. In the Athena console, from the workgroup that you want to copy the query from, choose the **Saved queries** tab.

1. In the query editor, select the query text, and then press **Ctrl\+C** to copy it.

1. [Switch](switching-workgroups.md) to the destination workgroup, or [create a workgroup](creating-workgroups.md), and then switch to it.

1. Open a new tab in the query editor, and then press **Ctrl\+V** to paste the text into the new tab.

1. In the query editor, choose **Save as** to save the query in the destination workgroup.

1. In the **Choose a name** dialog box, enter a name for the query and an optional description.

1. Choose **Save**.
