Cloning a feed setup

Cloning a feed would help to create a copy of one of your feeds which you can then modify. This would save time in creating similar feeds in terms of feed configuration.

Cloning can be a handy tool in the following situations:

• Set same feed for multiple stores
  If you have multiple stores, each with it's own language, you would want to create a feed for each of them. After cloning a feed, change the Store View and Feed Currency under General Configuration, and if appropriate, adjust Feed Localization under Categories Map. 
  
  
• Try out different feed configs for same store
  After cloning the feed, you can change the configuration of the clone and Generating the feed or Test the feed by a representative SKU, then compare it to the original feed.
