How to clone a policy package?

[kb1]

Apparently my colleague cloned a policy package a few days back, but how do we do it? Saw it in the task bar, and the description says " Policy so and so was successfully cloned from so and so" with both so and sos being different from one another, so how can you clone a different policy package to the one you are cloning from?

There isn't a "clone" option.
You can, however, copy/paste rules between layers using the standard keyboard shortcuts.
Or you can use the Python export/import script we've had on CheckMates for a while now.

Clone button appears when opening Security Policies and clicking Manage Policies.

However with R80 automatic revisions it is not recommended to duplicate the objects as a regular practice but rather use Installation History to revert to a previously installed revision.

1| Press on Ctrl + O to open the Manage policies and layers editor

2| Select the relevant Policy and from Actions select Clone
