# Dataset cloning

Dataset cloning is the process of creating exact copies of existing datasets. It can be a useful tool for:

  • Experimentation - cloned datasets can be shared with others and serve as a valuable resource for experimentation without affecting the original dataset.

  • Prediction - cloned datasets can be used to make a prediction, without distorting the original dataset.

  • Enhancement - purchased datasets can be cloned, allowing users to edit them to meet specific needs.

To clone a dataset, go to the Owned datasets.
