FAQs
Q: Why would you copy schedules instead of creating a new one?
Copying schedules is useful when you want to reuse an existing configuration as a starting point. All settings from the original are duplicated, and you can then modify the copy as needed.
Q: Does copying schedules require a new unique name?
Yes. The copy must be saved with a new unique name to distinguish it from the original schedules record.
