Copy a database design

This action overwrites the existing design, so please take care.

You can copy a design from one database to another.

The Copy (design) feature is typically used alongside the Clone (database) feature when modifying database designs.

Scenario: You have an existing database (DB1) that contains lots of content items, such as dashboards and favorites. You want to make changes to this database but don't want to lose any content items.

1. Clone DB1 and name the clone DB2. You now have two copies of the database design: DB1 and DB2.

2. Open the DB2 design, make the required changes, then save the design.

3. Open the DB1 design and click the Versions tab.

4. Click the Copy button.

   
5. Select the database from which you want to copy the design (DB2) and click Copy.

6. Review the new design and click Save.
