Copying system or cluster collections
You can copy a collection as a new collection. When you copy a collection that was created by members,
you copy the collection and its members into the new collection. If you edit the original collection after you
copy it to the new collection, the newly copied collection is not updated. For example, if the original collection
has two members, the same two members copy to the new collection. If you edit the original collection to
add another member after you copy it, the newly copied collection is not modified.
