Copying a Public or Group View

How to:

If there is an existing public view that contains content blocks you want to include in a new view, you can save time by copying the existing public view. By copying a public view, a new view is created that contains the same content blocks. When copying a group view, only the look and feel is copied, the content blocks are not copied. After you copy an existing public or group view, the new view has a different name and description than the old view. You can edit the content blocks after the view is copied.

Views are copied from the Public Views or Group Views window. The text of the description is used as the link on the Public Views and Group Views pages.
