Duplicating Settings
If there is a setting that contains some attributes that you want to use in another setting,
you can duplicate the existing setting and make the necessary modifications to the
duplicated one, rather than creating a new setting from scratch. Duplicating a stock Apple
setting and then adjusting the duplicate to suit your needs is the most convenient way
to create custom settings.
To duplicate a setting
1 Select the setting that you want to duplicate in the Settings tab.
