Hubspot doesn’t allow us to create a variation from an email already created. We have to create an email from the beginning. I wondered if it would be interesting to develop a new functionality in order to create an A/B variation from a duplicated email (already created).

Sorry for my English…

Hi @Kelvine, thanks for reaching out! Perhaps I’m misunderstanding but I believe what you’re looking for is already possible. You can take a previously sent email, clone it and from the new clone you can [enable an A/B test of that email as normal.](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/articles/kcs_article/email/run-an-a/b-test-on-your-marketing-email)

Is this what you had in mind?
