+Duplicating Actions
+-------------------
+
+QGIS allows you to duplicate existing actions. To duplicate an attribute action, 
+open the vector :guilabel:`Layer Properties` dialog and click on the :guilabel:`Actions` tab. 
+In the :guilabel:`Actions` tab, click the |duplicateAction| :sup:`Duplicate an action`
+to open the :guilabel:`Duplicate Action` dialog. You must have selected at least one existing action 
+in order to create a duplicate.
+
+In the dialogue that appears, make any changes that are necessary. See :ref:`adding_actions` 
+for further information. Once finished, press :guilabel:`OK` to create a duplicate of the action with 
+any changes that you made. If you did not edit the description, or if you changed it to be 
+identical to the description of any other existing action, "_1" will be added to the end of it.
