Clone online project

You can create a new online project with the same settings as in another project. One way to do this is to clone the existing project.

When you clone an online project, you make a copy of it on the same memoQ TMS, but without the documents. This can be useful when you need to start a new job for an existing client.

Project manager edition only: You can't clone projects in memoQ translator pro.

New project, same place: When you clone a project, the copy is created as an empty online project on the same server. You cannot create a copy of the original project on another computer.

Use templates instead: When you clone a project, you use a previous project as a template for the new one. But memoQ also has template resources which allow more detailed and flexible project configuration. We recommend that you set up templates and create new projects from templates instead.

How to get here

  1. On the Dashboard (or in the Manage projects window), above the project list, choose a server from the dropdown.

  2. Select the project you need to clone.

  3. In the Project ribbon, click the Clone Clone icon showing two identical documents next to each other. button.

  4. The Clone online project window opens.

What can you do?

  1. Name the new project in the Name box. memoQ copies the original project's name, and adds '- clone' to it. Type a different name if you need to. Make sure that there isn't another project with the same name on the server.

  2. Choose what memoQ should copy to the new project. Normally, memoQ copies the list of users, and uses the same translation memories, term bases, LiveDocs corpora, and light resources in the new project. To not use one of them, clear its check box in the Options for cloning section. For example, you can have a project that has the same users and translation memories, but not the same segmentation rules (segmentation rules are light resources).

  3. Choose how users communicate while they work on the project. Normally, they are allowed to communicate, and they receive status e-mails. There are two check boxes to set this up:

    • Project participants can communicate when online: Check this to allow the team members to use discussions and instant messages while working on the project. A discussion is a thread of comments that belongs to a segment, to a document, or to the entire project.
    • Copy e-mail notification settings: Check this to send the same status e-mails from the new project. memoQ TMS sends e-mails to distribute a project among team members, send notifications to reviewers and the project manager when a translator finishes their work, and many others.

What is Content connection? If the original project was taking its contents from a content connection, the new project will be content-connected, too. In this case, you need to set up a new connection for the new project. If the original project wasn't content-connected, this section of the window is greyed out. To learn more about content-connected projects, see the topic about creating an online project.
