# Fork a Universe Dataset

You can copy data from a Universe dataset into your account using the Fork Project feature.

To fork a project, you must be logged into your Roboflow account.

### Fork a Project

First, find a dataset on Universe that you want to use in your computer vision project.

Next, click the "Use this Dataset", and then the "Fork Project" button:

The dataset will then be copied into your Roboflow Workspace.

Once the project has been copied, you will be taken to a page where you can generate a Project Version using the dataset:

You can then change the project however you want, or train a model using the dataset.
