Cloning projects

You can clone the latest version of your server project as a separate project or the latest version of a project branch as a separate branch. The cloned project can be used as a "template" to create a new project or as an independent base for new development. IDs of a cloned project and elements are reset automatically. Project permissions are reset as well; the project is available only for the user who has cloned the project. All references to used projects (if there are any) are maintained.

1. On the main menu, click Collaborate > Projects. The Manage Projects dialog opens.
