The Github repo provided in the description provides the "cloning groups" jupyter notebook. Could you also provide the other jupyter notebooks shown in the video? Specifically the one for cloning a dashboard would be super helpful. Thanks!

I've successfully cloned a webmap and associated feature layer, but there's also a GroupLayer in the webmap, which is not cloned. Suggestions?

Would this work migrating Web Appbuilder app from 10.4.1 Portal to 10.8.1? Or is it risky?

Any idea which service is this referring to?
