The Duplicate Org Chart feature allows users to quickly generate a copy of an existing org chart, preserving its structure, layout, and (some) data. It is designed for:

- Reusing templates

- Exploring alternate organizational designs

- Archiving versions of a chart without modifying the original

One-Click Duplication - Use the "Duplicate chart" button to instantly create a copy of your chart.
Preserves Employee Structure - Hierarchies, reporting lines, and role assignments are retained in the duplicated chart.
Retains Layout/Positioning - The visual placement of employee cards is carried over to avoid rework.
Does Not Copy Custom Fields - According to Unaric docs, custom fields are not duplicated across charts.
Connection Fields Are Copied - Connection fields (e.g., dotted-line relationships) are duplicated into the new chart.
Editable After Duplication - The duplicate becomes an independent chart - freely editable without impacting the original.

Enables Template Reuse: Use an existing department or region as a model for new teams.
Supports Version Control: Archive snapshots of charts before big structural changes.
