A design/change-time policy can become quite complex, especially if it contains several policy actions. Instead of creating a new policy “from scratch”, it is sometimes easier to copy an existing policy that is similar to the one you need and edit the copy.

CentraSite includes a copy feature that lets you do this. It produces a copy that is identical to the original policy. Unlike a new version of a policy, a copy of a policy is not associated with the original policy in any way CentraSite treats the copy just as if it were a new policy that you created from scratch.
