Add site via copy: Add a new site by copying an existing site's information. Copying an existing site is useful when sites are the same concept and setups will be similar to one another.

Additional Note: There is not a dependency between properties to be copied.
For example, to copy devices you need that Areas are copied first but is not mandatory to select Areas if Devices is selected in the properties to copy. If areas is not selected, the copy of devices is not going to work.
