We’re excited to introduce project cloning in
AI Studio
, making it easier to reuse and share your work.
What’s new?
You can now clone projects within the same account.
Flexible destination options
Projects can be cloned to the root level or into any existing folder inside AI Studio.
Optional full project history
Choose how you want to clone:
With history: Includes all chat activity and version history from the original project
Without history: Creates a clean copy with no chats or version history
How to enable it?
This feature is enabled by default for all users with AI Studio access. No setup required.
How does this help?
Enhancements
•
Folder navigation with breadcrumbs
When browsing projects inside a folder, a breadcrumb trail (e.g. "All Projects > My Folder") helps you navigate back easily.
•
Package names in details feed
When the AI adds or removes a dependency, the activity card now shows the package name instead of a generic message.
Bug Fixes
•
Fixed preview not loading during code generation
Internal health checks to the preview were being blocked by security rules, causing the preview to appear stuck on "not ready." This is now resolved and live previews load with better reliability.
•
Fixed inconsistent preview status
The live preview status could vary depending on which server handled your request, sometimes incorrectly showing "not running." Status is now always checked live and consistent.
•
Fixed long project names breaking the top bar
Very long project names no longer push toolbar buttons off-screen.
•
Fixed auto-fix overwriting AI response
When the AI automatically fixed build errors, the original helpful summary was sometimes replaced with technical fix details. The original response is now preserved.
•
Fixed package installation on project reopen
Reopening a project with extra installed packages (e.g. axios) would sometimes fail to restore them. Dependencies are now properly saved and restored.
•
Prevented search engines from indexing preview links
Preview URLs are now marked as non-indexable so they won't appear in search results. Published sites are unaffected.
•
Fixed false "Something went wrong" during AI thinking
During extended thinking phases, the app would sometimes incorrectly show an error.
The system now properly tracks thinking activity to prevent false alarms.
Internal Improvements
•
Sandbox keep-alive during long generations
The coding sandbox could time out if the AI spent several minutes thinking before writing files. It now stays alive throughout the entire generation.
•
Modal environment separation
Staging and production sandboxes now run in isolated environments to prevent cross-contamination.
•
Preview worker cleanup
Removed unused screenshot capture code and stale comments from the injected preview script.
