The Duplicating Agents feature in Max allows users to quickly create a copy of an existing agent within the same environment. This feature is accessible from the top-right menu of the Agents screen, making it easy to clone agents for further modification or testing.

When duplicating an agent, the new copy is immediately created with the agent's name appended with the word "Copy" followed by the current date and time. Users are automatically redirected to the newly copied agent, where they can start making changes without impacting the original version.

This feature is especially useful for experimenting with new configurations or creating similar agents based on an existing template while keeping the original intact.

Common Use Cases

1. Testing New Features: Users can duplicate an agent to test new skills, configurations, or workflows without affecting the agent currently in production.
2. Template Creation: If a specific agent setup is widely applicable, duplicating it allows users to quickly generate new agents based on a successful structure.
3. Backup for Modifications: Before making major changes to an agent, users can duplicate it as a precaution, ensuring that a previous version is always available if needed.

By duplicating an agent, users have the freedom to experiment and make modifications without worrying about unintended consequences for the original agent. This ensures a smooth workflow for development and testing.
