I have a project that I’ve duplicated so I can test some modifications, but when I duplicate the project and open the new one, it’s not a copy of the version of my work, it’s a copy of the original project I supplied by 8thwall (this project was hot spots. I had some custom things happening and when I duplicate it I see the original gas station hot spots…)

Hello @Bill_Sullivan when duplicating a project, only the LANDED changes are duplicated. If you never LAND your changes only the default initial project will duplicate (or the latest LANDED changes).

Thanks Ian, I thought it might have something to do with that.
