Clone light resource
When you clone a light resource, you make a copy of it. This is useful when you need to use a resource with slightly different settings - for example, you need a segmentation rule to break segments at semicolons. At the same time, you want to keep the original resource - because if you change the 'old' resource, you also change previous projects that used it. When you need this, you need a copy of the resource, and make your changes there.
You must clone default resources: You can't change default resources in memoQ. If your project needs settings that are different from the default, you must clone the default resource first, and edit the copy. The reason: when memoQ is updated, the default resources are overwritten. If you changed the default resources, your changes would be destroyed by the update.

When you finish
To make the copy of the selected resource: Click OK.
