Clone a Question

Last updated: August 14, 2025

HackerRank for Work enables you to clone existing questions. When you clone a question, the platform creates an independent copy with a unique Question ID. Any changes made to the original question do not affect the cloned version.

Cloning is useful when you want to create modified versions of a question for different contexts.

Note:  

You can access questions from two sources in the Library dropdown:

  • My company: Contains all questions created by you and other users in your company.

  • HackerRank: Contains the HackerRank repository of assessment questions.

You can clone questions from both sources.
