📰Clone Dataset

Easily duplicate a dataset to collaborate across teams or projects.

The Clone Dataset feature allows you to create a copy of an existing dataset, so you can share it with other annotators or use it in a new project — without affecting the original data.

🔧 When to Use Cloning

• Share the same dataset with different annotators

• Run parallel annotation tasks (e.g., quality review, AI-assisted vs. manual annotation)

• Preserve the original dataset while making experimental changes

• Distribute workload across multiple team members or teams

✅ What’s Included in the Clone

• All images

• Annotations (including bounding boxes, polygons, etc.)

• Metadata (class names, tags, etc.)

🚫 Cloning does not carry over submission or version history. The cloned dataset starts fresh, allowing new annotations or edits.

👥 Collaboration Benefits

• Let multiple annotators work on different versions of the same dataset

• Avoid conflicts or overwrite risks

• Enable task-specific projects while keeping your original dataset untouched

🔐 Permissions

Only Project Admins or Dataset Owners can perform cloning. Cloned datasets follow the permissions of the new project they are assigned to.
