## Response Examples

#### Copy with createNewCopies

The response for successfully copying a dashboard with the my-dashboard ID, including all references from the default space to the marketing space. The result indicates a successful copy and all three objects are created. Since these objects were created as new copies, each entry in the successResults array includes a destinationId attribute.

```json
{
  "marketing": {
    "success": true,
    "successCount": 3,
    "successResults": [
      {
        "id": "my-dashboard",
        "type": "dashboard",
        "destinationId": "1e127098-5b80-417f-b0f1-c60c8395358f",
        "meta": {
          "icon": "dashboardApp",
          "title": "Look at my dashboard"
        }
      },
      {
        "id": "my-vis",
        "type": "visualization",
        "destinationId": "a610ed80-1c73-4507-9e13-d3af736c8e04",
        "meta": {
