Support "Deep Copy" allowing users to duplicate at the map level (which creates a new map, creates new topics, recreates map hierarchy using new topics)

This concept of "Deep Copy" would allow users to build a template of a chapter, create a map to hold the topics that are part of that template and would allow a "one click" deep copy operation on the map level. That one click would not only duplicate the map (leaving it pointing to the same topics as it does today) but it would make copies of all the topics and create a new map to contain the new topics. This would solve some issues with the creation of templates today in the system. Doing this today is somewhat time consuming.

  • Detail provided during SDL User Group meeting:

    • Create a copy at a map level and have not just the map duplicated but all of the topics that it points to and update the links so that they point to the new items. 
    • Ideally define, on an object-by-object basis, what to do with each object. 
    • Differs from "versioning". Use case: allows creation of document templates for users to build off of. Improves consistency across company. For example, release notes with "stubs" marketing data sheets with images, etc.
    • SDL (Pam Nureault): Professional Services has built a utility that does this, but requires PS engagement.
