Duplicate a channel to a new url

How Do I?

How do I take an existing url and channel and duplicate everything to a new url so I can customize some of the html and not have it affect the existing url.

Assuming you have a template group + template(s) in current use, just make a copy of that template group + template(s) and use that. I often set up a “test” template group accessible via example.com/test so I can work on stuff.

So on Template Management, should I do New Group (off existing) on left side of page or New Template on right side of page. I tried just New Template based off existing, it does return an empty page, but ignores the url ID parameter for that person’s data.

Thanks Rob, that worked. I found that the Allow PHP was set to false (not copied when I cloned the Group). Once I set that it seems to be working great.
