You can Clone an Instance and then make edits, if required. This is particularly useful when you want to use an Instance after minor edits.

There are two options to Clone an Instance.

• Clone Instance as Basic: Create a new TMail based on the parent Instance structure
• Clone Instance: Create a new Instance based on the parent Instance settings and structure

In Navigation, locate the Instance for which you want to create a Clone. For example, you can find it in Message Flow | Inbox, or in Tmail Pins | Recent. (Please see Navigation for more details.)
