The Clone Project dialogThe Clone Project dialog

Summary

The Clone Project dialog is used to copy a managed project, which is then stored in a repository connected to a server. By default, the original project name will be used with the suffix ' - Copy'.

Access

The dialog is accessed by right-clicking on a managed project in the Projects panel, then selecting Clone Project from the context menu.

The project must be a managed one, that is, currently stored within a repository of a managed content server. Also, to have the command appear on the context menu, you must be actively signed into that server.
The cloned project will be made in the same design repository as the original – you cannot change this as part of the cloning process.
