On those sites, the "copy a pipeline template" feature described below is not available. However, "copy a workflow" feature is not yet implemented.

+h3. How to copy a workflow
+
+We will use the uuid @zzzzz-7fd4e-sampleworkflow1@ as an example workflow.

+
+The name, description, and workflow definition from the original workflow will be used for the destination copy. In addition, any *locations* and *docker images* found in the src workflow definition will also be copied to the destination recursively.
+
+If you would like to copy the object without dependencies, you can use the @--no-recursive@ flag.
+
+For example, we can copy the same object non-recursively using the following:
