In addition to being able to export items ready for import to another instance, you can also copy items into the same instance using the copy option.
In PhixFlow, items are often associated with other items. For example, a stream is run by an analysis task or a style is used by a component. When making a copy, PhixFlow does not update associated items. The following table provides some examples:
| Item copied | Associated items | What happens to associated items |
|---|---|---|
| StreamA is copied to streamB. | An analysis task runs streamA. | The analysis task is not changed and only runs streamA. |
| Shared-style1 is copied to shared-style2. | There are 10 components that use shared-style1. | Shared-style2 has no components. The 10 components that use shared-style1 are not changed. |
