| 19 | +Use the _Saved Actions_ feature to save a copy of an action for reuse. You can insert a saved action into your app as a new step, or use a saved action to populate an existing step's parameters. |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +<div class="alert alert-info">You can only save actions if you have <a href="https://docs.datadoghq.com/actions/app_builder/access_and_auth/#app-permissions"><b>Editor</b> access.</a> for that app.</div> |
