Move, copy and clone reports in Report Server

This section explains how to move, copy, and clone reports in the Report Designer directly from Bold Reports On-Premise. Reports can be moved, copied, or cloned from one category to another in Bold Reports On-Premise.

Note: Starting v6.1, We plan to deprecate the feature of cloning reports. Please refer to this section for more information.

Breaking changes from v6.x

• We plan to deprecate cloning reports in upcoming releases.

• Initially, we removed the Clone option in the Report Server.

  The existing cloned reports will remain available in the sites.

• If you still need to clone the reports, you can enable the clone option by setting the <EnableClone> node to true in Settings -> Configuration -> reporting/config.xml.
  <EnableClone>true</EnableClone>.

• After enabling the node, you can find the option to clone and be able to clone the reports.
