Copy
  • If the source index doesn’t exist, copying creates a new index with 0 records and default settings.
  • API keys from the source index are merged with the existing keys in the destination index.
  • You can’t copy the enableReRanking, mode, and replicas settings.
  • You can’t copy to a destination index that already has replicas.

Move
  • If the source index doesn’t exist, moving is ignored without returning an error.
  • When moving an index, the analytics data keeps its original name, and a new set of analytics data is started for the new name. To access the original analytics in the dashboard, create an index with the original name.
  • If the destination index has replicas, moving will overwrite the existing index and copy the data to the replica indices.
  • For more information, see Move indices.
This operation is subject to indexing rate limits.
