Cloning an existing tool is a great way to streamline content creation while ensuring consistency across your projects.
Cloning tools
- From the Dashboard, navigate to the Projects tab and select the relevant project.
- In the left-hand menu, under Content or Participation, select a tool type to see the list of tools created for this project.
- From this list, select the tool you want to clone.
- On right hand side of the listing, click on the ellipsis icon. Select Clone.
- Create a new Title and change the URL alias if required. Select a target destination by choosing a project from the dropdown (Note: You can only clone to projects you have permission to access).
- Tick the box if you also want to copy the content blocks from the current tool.
- Click Clone. You will be navigated to the edit screen of the new tool in the target project, where you can customise the tool as required.
Note: Cloning a participation tool only duplicates the latest draft of the tool, without its revision history or submissions.
Cloning tip
When choosing a target destination for your cloned tool, you can also choose the Site Content (Global) location. This is useful for creating a base template or content that can be reused across different parts of your site.
Cloning maps
When you clone a map, all its elements, including icons and layers, will be duplicated in the new map. If your map layer has markers, those markers will be cloned to the new destination with the name [marker-name-copy].
Note: Depending on the context of the context of the new map, you may need to adjust and rename its markers, icons and layers.
