Duplicating an application

You can duplicate an existing application, to create a copy to develop further. You can only duplicate an application that you have created yourself unless your administrator has assign you a security role with duplication enabled.

If you have an admin role, giving you the administration rights needed, you can create duplicates of applications from the QMC.

To learn more about duplicating an application, see Managing a Qlik Sense site: Duplicating applications.

To learn more about default administration roles, see Managing a Qlik Sense site: Default administration roles.

Information noteWhen you duplicate a published application, only the base sheets and stories will be included in the copy.

Do the following:

  • In the hub, right-click the application you want to duplicate and select Duplicate.

    A toast notification is displayed for a while, at the bottom of the screen, when the duplication starts. A new toast notification will be displayed when the application has been duplicated and give you the possibility to update the application list. If the duplication fails, an error message will be displayed.

A copy of the application is created under Work. You can click the application to open it and start adapting it according to your preferences.

Information noteBecause of how the synchronization of data works in multi-node sites, applications containing images may display broken thumbnails or images inside the applications if opened right after being duplicated or imported. The broken images are restored when the synchronization is complete. To check if the images have been restored, refresh the browser window.
