Hi Tesfay, When you clone a survey the cloned Survey's internal ID ( its URL ) will be different than the original one. This means that the data that belongs to the original survey is not visible to the cloned one as the survey uses the internal ID to reference the records on the database. A possible solution is that you : 1. Export the data from the **original survey** by using the XML(Zip) format ( you need to be using the original survey, open the original CEP file) file) In the CE menu ***Tools->Data Import/Export->XML Export->Export data to XML(compressed)*** 2. Open the zip file **ZIP file** generated and update the file called idm.xml **idm.xml** so that the URL URI matches the URL URI that you can find inside the placemark.idm.xml **placemark.idm.xml file inside the cloned CEP file. Thes file**. This line looks like this: `<uri>http://www.openforis.org/idm/NAME_OF_SURVEY</uri>` Again, you can find the **URI of the newer (cloned) survey if you open the placemark.idm.xml** file inside the CEP file (you can open the CEP file or WinZIP or similar, or you can try to change the extension to ZIP) 3. Import the updated ZIP file through Tools->Data Import/Export->Import new records using ZML XML That should work!work! So basically, in brief, you are exporting the data from the original survey and importing it into the new one. BUT for this to work you need to make sure that the URI and name of the project (which is specified in the idm.xml file) are the same than in the new one that you have currently loaded in Collect Earth (the newer cloned one) **AS A GENERAL NOTE :** When you import data from an XML(ZIP), the data will only be imported if it refers to the same survey (in this case the newer cloned one) than the survey that is CURRENTLY loaded (in use) in Collect Earth
