How do I copy an existing group to make a new group?

I am standing up a new environment for a company-wide application containing roughly 15 servers. I currently have a group for the legacy environment. I would like to copy/clone the existing group, rename it and replace the existing servers with the new servers...

I am new to thwack and am eager to learn, but I am pretty much starting at zero. I have had some exposure with WhatsUpGold, but never got along with it very well... Any pointers would be appreciated. Basically I would like to have monitoring stood up before the cutover tomorrow.

Does this make sense, and is it possible. If so, how do I go about it?

In Orion there's not really a scenario where you would need to copy an existing group and then replace the members. Just make a new group and put the stuff you want in it, ideally using a dynamic query to populate it instead of adding the objects in one by one.
