Copying a Project

You can create a copy of an existing project on a DiveLine server from the New Project dialog box.

NOTE: The copied project retains any existing aliases, mailing lists, email objects, and access control settings.

CAUTION: After the copy operation begins, there is no way to stop it. If you make a mistake and need to remove the project, see Uninstalling Projects.

To copy an existing project:

  1. Click File > New > New Project.

    The ClosedNew Project dialog box opens.

  4. From the Initial Contents list, select Copy Project.

    A ClosedProject list appears to the right of the Initial Contents list.
