📰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
📂 How to Clone a Dataset
Go to your Project Dashboard
Click the “Dataset” tab

✅ 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.
