copy-design
Use copy-design to make a separate working copy of an existing design, for example to fork it, keep a backup, or preserve the original before making changes. The source design is unchanged. It copies from a single source design only; to combine pages from more than one design, use merge-designs.
Example prompt
"Make a copy of my sales deck with just slides 1, 3, and 5."
Pass the design_id of the source design, and optionally page_numbers, an array of 1-based page numbers to include. Omit page_numbers to copy every page.
Example response
IDs, URLs, and tokens below are placeholders; field names and structure are exactly as returned.
This tool returns the new design directly; it doesn't create a job.
