Cloning your Cloud Platform application into the IDE¶

1. Click COPY FROM THE CLOUD PLATFORM to copy your existing Cloud Platform application into the Cloud IDE.

   The system copies your application’s code, databases, and files into the Cloud IDE. If you have a multisite setup, the system prompts you to select the database and files directory to copy into the IDE. You must manage the sites.php file to configure the Drupal routing so that it matches the IDE preview URL. For more information, visit Cloud IDE multisite FAQ.

   Note

   You can use acli pull to pull your code, database, and files from Cloud Platform. You can use optional parameters to specify the items that you do not want to refresh. Use acli pull --help to list all available parameters.

2. Select Manage Drupal Application > Open Drupal Application in the admin menu to view your application.
