Hi, As you have already mentioned, one thing to remember when you do this is that your new layout will have the same charts ( with same chart ID's ) as your old layout, so changes you make to a chart in one layout will show up on the same chart in the other layout. If you don't want this, you may want to go through your new layout and replace each chart with a new duplicate. I have found that this doesn't take too long if you use each old chart as a model before deleting it.
