# Reuse tests without duplicating spreadsheets

> Install packs into projects, edit the copies, and keep a personal pack for work you repeat.

When you copy the same checklist into several client folders, the files get out of date. SimpleUAT uses packs plus projects instead of a live link back to the source pack.

## Install, then own it

When you **Use This Pack**, selected suites and tests are copied into **this** project. From then on they behave like anything you wrote by hand. Client-specific SKUs, URLs, and personas belong on the project cases and environments, not in a shared pack if those details will go stale.

## Skip existing vs create anyway

If you install twice, choose **Skip existing** to avoid clones, or **Create anyway** if you truly want a second copy (usually you don't).

## What is not reuse

* Packs do not auto-apply new catalog versions into installed projects.
* You cannot save the project back into a pack. Maintain the pack in the pack UI / JSON / AI generate.

## Reuse without a pack

Duplicate a cycle for the next release. Keep cases `active`. Deprecate tests you no longer run. That's the "copy last sprint's tab" move, without overwriting old results.
