Use Clone website to create an editable app artifact from a webpage URL. The import captures supported page content into a new HTML app; it is not a continuing connection to the source website.
Availability and before you start
Choose the destination workspace before you import. A workspace is an access-controlled area inside a team. You need permission to create there, an accepted webpage URL, room under the team's artifact limit, and a plan that includes the import.
Steps in the app
- Open New → Clone website.
- Enter the source URL and choose the destination workspace when prompted.
- Start the import and wait for the new app artifact to open.
- Check the rendered page and its files before editing or publishing.
The result is an app artifact backed by generated HTML. It is editable, has its own URL and History, and does not stay synchronized with the original site. Import again only when you intentionally want another artifact.
Free-plan allowance
Free teams receive five successful imports total across both methods. It is one combined allowance, not five of each. Artifact capacity and import allowance are separate. A quota refusal should open or relay the upgrade path, not trigger retries. Deleting an imported artifact does not restore an already consumed import.
See Plans and usage and Limits and quotas for canonical plan facts.
What is captured
The importer works from the supplied webpage. Content that depends on authentication, unsupported runtime behavior, blocked resources, or resources unavailable to the importer may be incomplete. Review the result rather than assuming it is a pixel-perfect or functional copy.
Errors and recovery
- Correct an invalid or unreachable URL, then retry.
- If the source blocks access or required resources, use a source you can authorize or import the project files instead.
- If generation fails after the source was accepted, retry once; repeated failure belongs in Troubleshooting.
- Treat an access or quota refusal as terminal until a human changes access or plan state.
A connected agent can help inspect and edit the resulting artifact, but this page does not assume a separate public CLI import-from-URL command.

Questions and answers
Does Clone website stay connected to the source? No. It creates a separate editable HTML app artifact from the supplied page.
What may be missing from the result? Authenticated, blocked, unsupported, or runtime-dependent content and resources may be incomplete.
Does importing again update the first artifact? No. It creates another artifact. Edit the existing artifact when you want to continue the same work.
When should I retry? Correct an invalid URL or retry one transient generation failure. Do not retry access or quota refusals unchanged.
