Two types of cloning are available in the Workflows module. Shallow cloning creates a duplicate workflow for use in other calculation models where any data integrations, rules, and sub-workflows (child items) are shared with the original workflow. Any changes made to those child items affect both the original and the cloned workflow. Deep cloning creates a copy of a workflow and all child items as a basis for a new workflow. Any changes made to the cloned child items do not affect the original workflow or its child items.
If you clone a workflow that includes workflow-level variables, the variables will be duplicated into the cloned workflow.
