Duplicating a virtual environment
Introduction
If you're creating multiple virtual environments that have similar attributes (partial name, description, and/or type), you can duplicate an existing virtual environment and then edit the duplicated virtual environment as needed.
What information is duplicated?
Name
The original name is duplicated and appended with the word Copy. For example:
Here, FR (France) - Production has become FR (France) - Production Copy.
Description
Duplicated without any changes.
Type
Duplicated without any changes.
Configuration versions
The duplicated virtual environment is created with a new draft version, ready for you to configure replacement components.
Package deployments
The package deployments panel will be updated if/when you deploy flow versions to this environment via a package.
Flow deployments
The virtual environment is duplicated without any flow deployments. This panel will be updated when you choose to deploy flow versions to this environment, either individually or via packages.
Deployment status
If you duplicate a virtual environment which is currently deployed (i.e. it has a deployed configuration version AND at least one deployed and enabled flow deployment), the duplicated environment is created with a not deployed status. For example:
