Clone Database in the Web UI

Hello there,
Great news!
You can now clone from one AuraDB Professional database to a new AuraDB Professional database.
You can only clone to a new latest Neo4j 4 AuraDB database.
You can clone from a Neo4j 3 to a Neo4j 4 new database, smoothing out your migration path.
I'll personally be in touch with those running a Neo4j 3 instance as we look to deprecate Neo4j 3 from the platform in the coming months.
You can clone to a new database in a different global region.
Your destination database must be the same size or bigger than your source database.
If you are interested in the ability to clone from one database to an existing (not new) database, please up vote : https://neo4j-aura.canny.io/feature-requests/p/clone-one-instance-to-an-existing-instance
To get to the clone button currently, head to the "Settings" for your Database and click "Clone".
Please let us know your feedback.

Note that the clone functionality should allow for seamless upgrade from Aura 3 to Aura 4 instances.
i.e. in the UI a user should be able to "clone" an Aura Neo4j 3 instance to an Aura Neo4j 4 instance, and in doing so all actions associated with the upgrade should be taken care of.
Note that 3 -> 4 is a major version upgrade and that all customers should then expect to need to validate their code/application against this new major version and they should expect to need to make changes. Like any new major version of the software.
