# Summary

Once you install Clone Plus for Jira, two new clone operations are available for issues in addition to the standard clone operation provided natively by Jira:

- Clone+: This lets you clone issues within the same project.
- Clone++: This lets you clone issues in different projects and of different issue type.

If you do not want all of these clone operations available to users, you can selectively disable one or more clone operations. Moreover, you can easily provide more specific, customized clone operations to suit your development process. The app provides an additional 16 clone operations available for customization. When you install Clone Plus for Jira for the first time, by default they are disabled. They can be enabled easily as you required. The app remembers which operations are enabled on upgrades.

# Steps to disable the standard clone operation

The Clone+ operations provide equivalent and enhanced support; you can disable the provided clone operation using the following steps: 

1. Sign in to your Jira instance as a Jira administrator.
2. In the top navigation bar, select **Administration** ⚙️ > **Manage apps**.
3. In the left sidebar of the *Manage apps* page, select **Manage apps**.
4. Select **System **to view the system apps.
5. In the **Filter visible apps **field, search for Issue Operation Plugin.
6. In **Issue Operation Plugin**, expand the modules.
