Clone a Bin

Clone a Bin

Cloning a Bin allows you to make a new copy of an existing Bin. You can leave the original version (and any existing connections to it) intact while making changes to the permissions, organizational structure, number of assets, or workflows of the new version.

Since Mediagraph does not allow you to move Bins from one Lightbox to another, you must first clone the Bin, then move the new copy to the desired Lightbox using Rearrange Mode.

Note that the assets contained in the original Bin will not be duplicated. Any changes made on an asset level within the cloned Bin (metadata or access restrictions, for example) will apply to the assets wherever they are visible across your Mediagraph account.

  2. Click Clone.
  3. Click OK. The cloned Bin will appear in your Projects Panel as a top-level Lightbox.
