Change Site Title within app

At a glance

The community member suggests that it would be helpful if the WebStudio app allowed users to rename their current project while it is open, similar to how some cloud apps function. This would enable users to clone the project and have the clone become the active version, while the original project becomes a branch. The community member also expresses a desire for a way to mark different versions of a project, as having to go to the Dashboard to do this is slow. Additionally, the community member notes that exploring different problem-solving approaches within a single project (on separate pages) requires building a clearly labeled navigation system first.

In the comments, other community members discuss the idea of having a "Save As" functionality when cloning a project, where the current filename is retained, and the clone becomes the active project. Some community members agree that this would be more straightforward and consistent with the existing template functionality in the Dashboard. One community member created an issue on the WebStudio GitHub repository to address the difficulty in realizing if a project has already been cloned.

Useful resources
Many Cloud apps let you change the name of your current project while having it open – screenshot is from Google Sheets. I would find this handy for WS, too. That way one could rename the open project and hit "Clone". As WS is set up in a way that the current project stays active, the Clone would store your current approach. The open version would become the branch.

As a Learner I would like to mark versions when I try out something new ("version with background images"). Always having to go to the Dashboard is slow. Exploring different problem solving approaches inside one project (separate pages) means having to build a clearly labeled navigation first.

if its about naming for a clone, maybe we should open a name dialog when cloning?
It would be more straight forward and also consistent with templates in dashboard
To me, it appeared most straightforward when Cloning  had a Save As characteristics. Whatever you did until calling Clone would retain the current filename and would unload from the Canvas
The clone would become the active project

I'm sure other users will differ, but I cannot imagine a use-case where I would prefer the Clone silently getting created in the dashboard.
What I am saying:
1.click clone
  1. dialog etner new name
  2. refreshing on a clone
would prefer the Clone silently getting created in the dashboard.

agree
Its just the fact that currently its very hard to realize if you had already cloned or not
