<p><strong>Swift Menu Duplicator</strong> gives you full control over your WordPress navigation menus. Clone any menu in one click, manage all menus from a dedicated admin page, version them with snapshots, move them across Multisite sub-sites, and automate everything from the command line or REST API.</p>
<h3>One-Click Duplication</h3>
<ul>
<li>Duplicate button right in the menu editor footer — no page reload required</li>
<li>Full hierarchy preserved via a two-pass clone that remaps all parent-child item IDs</li>
<li>All item metadata copied — type, object, URL, target, CSS classes, XFN, description</li>
<li>Duplicate individual menu items directly from the menu editor</li>
<li>Custom name support — filter <code>swift_menu_duplicator_new_menu_name</code> to override the default “(Copy)” suffix</li>
</ul>
<h3>Snapshot Revisions</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Auto-snapshot</strong> — a snapshot is saved automatically before every menu save</li>
<li><strong>Manual snapshots</strong> — save named snapshots from the menu editor at any time</li>
<li><strong>Browse & restore</strong> — view all snapshots in an expandable panel and restore with one click</li>
<li><strong>Housekeeping</strong> — delete individual snapshots you no longer need</li>
</ul>
<h3>Menu Manager (Appearance <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Menu Manager)</h3>
<ul>

<li><code>POST /menus/{id}/duplicate</code> — duplicate a menu (optional <code>name</code> parameter)</li>
<li><code>GET  /menus/{id}/export</code> — export a menu as a JSON payload</li>
<li><code>POST /menus/{id}/items/{item_id}/duplicate</code> — duplicate a single menu item</li>
</ul>
<p>Permission is controlled by the <code>swmd_rest_permission</code> filter (defaults to <code>edit_theme_options</code>).</p>
<h3>WP-CLI</h3>
