New Feature in Editor's Desk 2.1: "Clone"

We've added a new feature to Editor's Desk 2.1 which we think those of you creating more than one widget, or modifying an existing one, will find very useful.  We're calling it Clone.  The clone tool allows you to make an exact copy of a widget in your account.  This tool is useful if you want to create other widgets that have the same look and feel as your current widget but have different content; it is also useful when you want to create a copy of a widget to test any potential changes you want to make to a widget without impacting your live widget.

Clone

How do you access Clone? From the Tools and Live Preview page in Editor's Desk, click on the Clone icon under the tools menu.  A pop-up box will n otify you that the widget has been cloned; click "OK."  Note that a cloned widget will have the same name as the original widget, with a version number after it -- (i.e. V2, V3, etc.).
