FAQ

Why is "duplicate" not an option in the project dropdown in Portal?

If your project was created from a Smart Template on the Portal Home Page, the Duplicate option will not be available due to the auto-linking nature of the project.

  • This is due to how the Homepage and auto-linking work—once a project is exported to Studio and development begins, the Studio project itself cannot be duplicated. More info here and here.

  • You can still duplicate the ReX-generated content within ReX, but not the linked Studio project in Portal.

  • FYI - Future State: ReX 2 (Coming 2026)

    • In the upcoming version of ReX:

      • There will be a single, unified project portal—ReX projects and Studio projects will no longer exist separately.

      • Project management actions, like sharing, duplicating, and updates, will all be handled within this unified experience.
