Move, copy and clone reports in Report Server

This section explains on how to move, copy and clone Reports in the Report Designer directly from the Bold Reports On-Premise. Reports can be moved, copied or cloned from one category to another category in the Bold Reports On-Premise.

Note: Starting v6.1, We plan to deprecate the feature of cloning reports. Please refer to this section for more information.
