Detailed documentation

`copySite(domain, name, title, summary, site)`

Creates a new Site by copying an existing Site.

Warning: Copying a site takes time, from seconds to possibly many minutes, depending on the size of the site. Although the method returns right away, the copy is still going on in the background, and not all pages in the copied site will be immediately available. This method can also be used to instantiate a new site based on a given template.

// This creates a site. Note that this only works for G Suite domains.
// There is no version of this API for consumer accounts.
var site = SitesApp.createSite("example.com",
                               "homepage",
                               "My Home Page",
                               "This is a new site I created!");

var siteCopy = SitesApp.copySite("example.com",
                                 "homepage-clone",
                                 "Cloned Home Page",
                                 "Begun, these clone wars have.",
                                 site);

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
`domain`	`String`	The G Suite hosted domain (e.g. example.com)
`name`	`String`	The webspace name found in the URL (e.g. mySite)
`title`	`String`	The title of the site
`summary`	`String`	The description of the site
`site`	`Site`	The Site to copy from. This can either be a site or a template. If the parameter is an existing site then the entire contents of the site will be copied. If the given Site is a template, then a new Site is created based on that template.

Return

Site — The site that was copied. Note that the copy is asynchronous, and the copy operation may still be ongoing even though a reference to the site has been returned.
