How to copy an Assembly tab?

Is there a way or workaround to copy/duplicate an Assembly tab? I already have one and I need another almost iqual, with just a few parts replaced.

You can not duplicate an Assembly tab but you can window pick everything in an assembly, copy and paste to a new assembly (However the sub assembly structures seemed to be lost in the new assembly). I think this would work if no sub assembly involved.

Ok this works better.
Shift select parts and sub assemblies from the tree, copy,  paste in space to the side, select the new bit's in the tree and form new sub assembly. Switch to new sub assembly to continue work ( I had to position the main bits to the origin, delete un want parts and add alternative parts). Delete the new assembly from the parent, in my case I wanted the both parent and child to appear in the next assembly up so just  dragged the child from the parent to be be included into the top assy, worked a treat.

You could also shift select all instances from assembly tree and paste in a new assembly.
