# Reuse across projects

> Check project dependencies before reusing an automation.

An automation that works on one project may depend on that project’s names, families, references or units.

<h2 id="list-the-dependencies">
  1\. List the dependencies
</h2>

Record the source application, document type, required categories, families, templates, title blocks, units and linked files. Identify fixed element IDs or names that cannot identify the same target in another project.

<h2 id="adapt-a-copy">
  2\. Adapt a copy
</h2>

Keep the working original. In a copy, replace project-specific inputs and explain what differs in the destination model. See [Adapt an automation](/automation/automation-basics/adapt-an-automation-without-changing-everything) and [Parameters](/automation/automation-parameters).

<h2 id="test-both-cases">
  3\. Test both cases
</h2>

Run one representative destination case, inspect the native result and check omissions. If the automation is intended to serve both projects, retest the original case too. Save the accepted version with its prerequisites; successful execution on one example does not establish general portability.
