# Clone a Project

This function is used when you want to make a copy of an existing project on the same server – for instance, you want to use functionality from a previous release but want to make some minor changes. This allows you to keep the existing project as-is and create the clone for your new work. All artifacts in the existing project will be cloned.

To create a clone, hover your cursor to the right of the project you want to clone and click the ‘duplicate’ button (two pages with a ‘+’ sign on them, second icon from right).

This will open the clone window. Because you are creating a copy on the same server, you must provide a prefix. TDO will affix this prefix to every artifact in the project. Once you have entered the prefix, click on ‘Clone’ to create the project clone.

TDO will display a moving circle icon while the clone is in process. Once the clone is completed, the new project is visible in your projects list.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.apica.io/platform-docs/test-data-orchestrator-tdo/user-documentation/tdo-project-builder-user-guide/projects/clone-a-project.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
