Copying Existing Processes/Pipelines

The simpliest way to edit pipelines is creating a copy of the existing ones by clicking copy pipeline icon which is located just next to pipeline title.

Similarly you can create a copy of process by clicking copy process button on the top right of the process window.

Once you copied the pipeline/process, you will own all the permissions of your process/pipeline and you can easily modify and save on your version.
