> ### 5.9 Creating a Draft Process Definition from a Private Process Definition (Process Instance)

> When you edit then save a running process instance, a private process definition is generated for that process instance. The private process definition contains the process definition for its process instance and reflects all the changes made to its process instance. By copying this private process definition to a draft process definition, you can keep the changes made to a process instance. You can then use the enhancements made in a particular process instance in subsequent processes.

> To copy a private process definition to a new draft process definition:

> 1. Select the My Inactive Process Definitions button from the Process Definition List.

> 2. Find the private process definition that corresponds to the process instance containing the changes that you want to save. If you have several different versions of private process definitions generated from the same process definition, you can examine them to determine to correct private process definition to copy.

> 3. Click the name of the private process definition that you want to copy and select the Copy button.

> 4. Assign this copy of the private process definition a name.

> A draft process definition with the name that you assigned is created. However, it does not appear under the My Inactive Process Definitions filter.

> 5. Select the My Process Definitions button from the Process Definition List.

> Your new draft process definition appears in the Process Definition List.

> Your new draft process definition is now available for use in creating process instances. These process instances incorporate all of the changes contained in the private process definition (process instance) from which this process definition was copied.
