Clone an existing app

You can also create a new app by cloning an existing app. When you clone an app, you rename it, copy its assets, and save the app as a draft. Cloning an existing app creates a new, unique copy of the existing app and does not modify the original app that you cloned.

Apps that are not-created through the App Editor cannot be edited, but can only be viewed or cloned in the editor. This applies to apps downloaded from Splunkbase. Cloned apps are given their own unique app identifier.

To clone an app, complete the following steps:

1. Navigate to the Main Menu.
2. Select Apps.
3. From the Configured Apps tab, locate the app you want to clone.
4. Select the clone button - it looks like a copy button with two squares .
5. (Conditional) If the app has assets that you want to copy, select which assets to copy.
6. Enter a new name for the App.
7. Select Copy.

After cloning, a new copy of the app is saved in the Draft Apps tab. The following items are saved:

• Version number
• Actions
• Dependencies
• Configuration details
• Assets
• All app files
