When you copy an existing resource, what must you ensure?

When copying an existing resource, it is crucial to ensure that the copy does not overwrite the original. This consideration is necessary to maintain the integrity of the original resource while allowing for modifications or usage of the copied resource. Overwriting the original could lead to loss of important information, settings, or configurations that might be needed later. By creating a copy instead of replacing the original, users can work with the new version while preserving the original as a reference or for future use.

Maintaining distinct versions of resources supports collaborative work and ensures that changes can be tracked effectively, which is essential in environments where multiple users may need access to original configurations or settings.
