Cloning allows administrators and site editors to create new versions of a site or page and the items displayed on its layout. Cloning a site also clones any pages attached to it, as well as the items displayed on each page. Pages can also be cloned independently of the site to which they belong.

- A Site Application item named after the original site (originalsitename 1).
- A Hub Page item named after the original page (originalpage 1) for each page added to the site, including linked pages that were created for other sites.
- A originalsitename 1 Core Team group and a originalsitename 1 Content group.
- Cloned items for each of the ArcGIS Enterprise items displayed on the site’s layout and page layouts.
Note:
Feature services are not cloned. If your site layout includes a statistics card, for example, that points to a feature service layer or table, the clone will not make a copy of the service. Instead, it will use the existing service from the original site or page.
