  Modify Existing Assessments: If the risks are already present in another assessment, consider modifying that assessment instead of creating a new one. You can add additional information or update the existing risks as needed.
  Create a New Risk Assessment: If you need to create a new risk assessment, ensure that you are not including risks that are already documented in other assessments. You may need to create a new version of the existing assessment if changes are required.
