 * Hi! Is there a way to create a new sidebar by copying another one and then simply
   modifying it? If I want to make subtle changes to a complex sidebar, I’d rather
   not recreate the original over and over again. Thanks!

 * Hi realramble,
 * This isn’t something that is currently available within WooSidebars.
 * Perhaps a post duplication plugin would be a good stopgap for the moment?
 * Thanks and regards,
    Matty.

 * I second this request – a Duplicate Widget Area feature would be EXCELLENT! A
   big time saver I’ve wanted for a long time.
 * Thanks~
