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 are copying the collection and and its members into the new collection. If the original collection is edited
after it is copied to the new collection, the newly copied collection will not be updated. For example, if the
original collection has two members, the same two members are copied to the new collection. If the original
collection is edited to add another member after it is copied, the newly copied collection will not be modified.

When you copy a collection that was created by attributes, you are copying the collection attributes into the
new collection. If the original collection is edited after it is copied to the new collection, the newly copied
collection will not have the same criteria.

When you copy a combination collection, the newly created collection has the same system collection and
even collection. If the original collection is edited after it is copied to the new collection, the newly copied
collection will not be updated.
