Hi,


The most common and safest way is to create a new app from the existing repository and connect it to a new environment.


You can clone or fork the Mendix repository and create a new app in the Mendix Portal for the new company. Then connect the new app to that repository and configure a new deployment environment. This keeps the full model and modules while making the apps independent.


After the copy, a few things usually need to be updated.


First, check app settings and constants (endpoints, company-specific configuration, SSO settings, etc.).


Second, review external integrations such as APIs, SSO providers, databases, or file storage. These may require new credentials or endpoints.


Third, decide what to do with the database. You can migrate part of the production data or start with a clean database. In carve-out cases, data is often exported, filtered, and then imported into the new environment.


This approach keeps both apps maintainable and allows them to evolve independently.


If this resolves your question, please mark it as accepted.
