+The DataHUB allows to "fork" an ARC. This creates an exact copy of an ARC under a different user or group account while staying connected to the original ARC.
+
+
+1. Navigate to the ARC that you would like to fork and click "Fork" in the top-right corner (1).
+
+
+
+2. In the fork menu you can
+ - adapt the name (1) of the ARC (your fork),
+ - select a namespace (2), i.e. your user or a group name,
+ - adapt the project slug (3)
+
+:bulb: Note that these options change the display name and URL of your fork of the ARC. The original ARC stays unchanged.
+
+:bulb: The visibility level (4) and access permissions are inherited from the original ARC.
+
+
+
+3. Once forked, you can work on your fork.
+ - In the ARC panel you can see the adapted name that you chose for the ARC (1).
+ - You can recognize that this is a forked ARC and navigate to the original source (2).
