In the data view menu, select the data view that you want to duplicate.
Still in the data view menu, select Manage this data view. A flyout with more details about the data view opens. For a managed data view, it indicates that you can't edit it directly.
Select Duplicate. A similar flyout opens where you can adjust the settings of the new copy.
Finish your edits, then select Save data view to Kibana or Use without saving.
If you save it to Kibana, the new, editable data view appears in the data view menu and on the Data Views management page, separate from the one you duplicated.
