Hello Brad,

Thank you for contacting us,

The new PRTG Desktop has the same functionalities as the old Enterprise Console, but the usage and settings might be a little different. You can clone groups, devices, and sensors in the device tree via the context menu or via the shortcuts Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V. Simply select the object to be cloned and enter Ctrl+C. The object is then copied to the clipboard.

Select the new location for the object and enter Ctrl+V. Then click Clear Clipboard when you are finished. You can also clone objects to other objects via drag-and-drop plus the Ctrl button. For macOS, the shortcuts for cloning objects are CMD+C and CMD+V.

You cannot clone fixed objects, such as the root group, the probe device, or PRTG systeminternal sensors. For more information about the PRTG Desktop please refer to this PRTG Desktop Manual
