Copying an app that has several related "mini apps"

[Hussein_Osseily]

Hello Everyone, 

What is the best practice to make a copy of an app that has several related "mini apps" without causing the editor to time out and the process to fail. 

A while ago i have attempted this, but, the main app (which is a bit heavy) was always timing out for some reasons. 

Thanks for any tips and tricks

When copying the app, it copies just that one, it doesn't do anything with your other linked apps.

If the app throws an error when copying it, it sounds the 2 minutes limit is reached. One option is to copy the app template only. Though then you need to copy your data sources manually and reassign them in the new app.

Yes , indeed.

The mini apps are copying normally without any issue, except for the main app that is timing out. 
In another words, your suggestion is to deselect these two options ? 

Make a copy of the data for the new app
Make a copy of file data (eg: images) for the new app

• If you have lot of images or files to copy, you could set that option (2nd) as Off first and test it.
