Understand what cloning a SKU copies and shares

See how a cloned SKU gets its own copied material, models and image but keeps pointing at the original brand.

1. When a SKU is duplicated in the catalogue, the system creates a brand-new copy of its attached material for the clone, owned by the cloning organisation — along with copies of its 3D models and display image. Because the material is copied rather than shared, editing the clone's finish never affects the original SKU, and later edits to the original's material never propagate to the clone: a clone's finish is a snapshot taken at clone time. The brand, by contrast, is not duplicated — the cloned SKU points at the same brand as the original, so renaming that brand affects both. Default naming on clones: the copy is called 'copy of <original name>' with model number '<original model number>_1' unless a new name and model number are supplied during the clone. If a client asks why a finish edit on one product did not update its duplicates, or why duplicating a product created extra materials in their catalogue, both are this by-design per-SKU material copying, which exists because a material can only ever be attached to one SKU.

2. Cloning a finish SKU and renaming the copy is the standard way to create matte and gloss variants of a base finish.

3. Each clone gets its own copied finish material.

4. Each clone gets its own default price.

5. Finish variants that look alike (for example matte versus high-gloss white liner laminate) can each carry their own price, so each variant's price should be checked individually rather than assumed to match the others.
