The workspace Save As action allows you to save objects in the workspace as new objects. These newly created objects are not committed to the commonspace until you perform a checkin. This means copies can be modified, evaluated, and, if best, discarded before checkin, to avoid unwanted or redundant database iterations. Workspace Save As also allows you to update a dependency from an existing parent object to the newly duplicated object, letting you replace an old component with a newly duplicated component without involving the authoring application. In addition, circular dependencies can be detected and managed.
