Rebuilding a complex automation from scratch, field by field, raises the risk of forgetting a condition. Jestor solves this with **automation cloning**: the copy preserves all the original logic and is born turned off, for safety.

## What is cloning with an inactive copy, and why does it exist?

Cloning is replicating an existing rule — conditions and actions preserved — but the copy is always born **turned off**, to prevent two automations from running in parallel by accident.

| Automation          | State when created       | Duplicate-execution risk |
| ------------------- | ------------------------ | ------------------------ |
| **Original**        | Keeps its previous state | None                     |
| **Duplicated copy** | Always born turned off   | Eliminated by default    |

## How to duplicate an automation in Jestor

- **One click to clone:** a duplicate button right on the automation itself.
- **Conditions and actions preserved:** all the original logic is replicated.
- **Copy always inactive:** manual activation required after review.
- **Easy deletion:** remove the copy directly from the same panel.

**How to configure it in Jestor:** open the original automation, click duplicate, and manually activate it after adjusting the filter or detail that changes.

## Why choose Jestor for this kind of cloning?

The key differentiator is **safety by default**: the copy is born turned off, eliminating the risk of two automations doing the same thing at the same time — useful for anyone scaling similar processes across teams or projects.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Is the duplicated automation already active right after cloning?** No, it's always born turned off; you need to activate it manually after reviewing it.

**How do I delete a duplicated automation that didn't turn out well?** Directly from the same panel where the duplication was done.

**Why doesn't the duplicated automation come activated by default?** For safety, to prevent unintentional duplicate execution.
