When you copy a plan, scenarios, unsaved changes from the auto-scheduler, or saved views are not copied.
Some plans may be linked to other projects you haven’t selected. You can copy these plans now. If you want these additional projects linked to the plans at the destination when you copy them, you should select the option to copy all plans or plans associated with selected projects.
