How to Clone a Web Project

Cloning makes your own copy of a web project. You can clone your own projects, for example to try a big change without risking the original, or any public project in Web Studio ⎋ that you’d like to remix.

Instructions

  1. Sign in to Web Studio ⎋. See How to Sign In to Web Studio.

  2. Open the project you want to clone. You can find public projects under Community projects and Featured projects on the Web Studio home page.

  3. Select the Clone button in the toolbar.

  4. A pop-up will appear. Select Clone project.

    A pop-up titled "Clone 'Solar System Facts'" that reads "You'll get your own copy of the code, media and README to change however you like. The original stays as it is." with "Cancel" and "Clone project" buttons.

  5. Your copy opens in the editor. It is now your project, so you can change and save it however you like.

What Gets Copied

Your copy gets a new random name, which you can change in Settings. It starts out with the same visibility (public or private) as the original. Changes you make to your copy never change the original project, and changes to the original after you clone it will not appear in your copy.

If you have cloned a project before, the Clone pop-up lists your earlier copies so you can open one of them instead of making another.

Give credit! When you clone someone else's project, say so in your README. Read our Community Guidelines.
