# Copy only the variables you need, and copy a connection into its own environment

> Choose which environment variables to copy to another workspace, without replacing the rest, and copy a warehouse connection into the same environment.

*November 11, 2026*

![The Copy workspace environment variables dialog with 9 of 13 variables selected and a list of target workspaces](https://mintcdn.com/paradime-docs/JUPWGUtBTKTrHRa3/images/copy-workspace-variables-pick-variables.jpg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=JUPWGUtBTKTrHRa3\&q=85\&s=f962863728ee7b30c54c42ebc5998847)

**Copy some of your variables.** When you copy environment variables to another workspace, a **Variables** checklist now lets you pick which ones to copy. All of them are selected at the start.

* The copy is a merge. Paradime adds the selected variables to the target workspace and keeps the target's other variables. Before, a copy replaced the full set.
* If a selected variable already exists in the target, Paradime lists it under **These variables already exist and will be overwritten:**, and the button changes to **Overwrite & copy**.

See [Copy variables across workspaces](https://docs.paradime.io/products/settings/environment-variables/copy-workspace-variables-across-workspaces.md).

**Copy a connection into the same environment.** In **Copy connection details**, the source environment is now first in the list, marked **current environment**. Pick it to add a second connection next to the original, for example with a different target or schema. See [Copy a connection](https://docs.paradime.io/guides/data-warehouse-essentials/manage-connections/copy-a-connection.md).

Shipped in Paradime v6.25.0.
