 ### New
 
 - [Migrate QuestDB onto the Kubernetes Operator](/docs/enterprise-kubernetes-operator/getting-started/migrate/) - Move an existing Enterprise deployment onto the Operator with a replica-first cutover: restore the source backup, consume replication WAL, then promote after a controlled source drain
-- [Copy a schema to another instance](/docs/cookbook/operations/copy-schema-between-instances/) - Recreate one instance's tables, views, and materialized views on another from `SHOW CREATE DATABASE`, either by replaying the statements over the REST API or by dumping them to a `.sql` file, with `INCLUDE (SCHEMA)` and `INCLUDE (ACL)` for separating structure from permissions on Enterprise

+## Manual alternative: copy from the Web Console
+
+For a one-off copy, or when you only want a few objects, the
+[schema explorer toolbar](/docs/getting-started/web-console/schema-explorer/#toolbar)
+puts the DDL on your clipboard with no scripting:
+
+1. Click **Select Mode**, the checkbox circle icon in the toolbar.
+2. Click **Select all**, the circle icon, or tick individual objects.
+3. Click **Copy schemas to clipboard**.
+
+Paste the result into an editor, or straight into the target's Web Console and
+run it. Selection mode exits once the copy succeeds.
+
+:::warning Reorder chained materialized views first
+
+The Web Console groups the copied statements by object type and sorts them
+alphabetically within each group, not in dependency order. Tables always precede
+materialized views, but a materialized view built on another materialized view
+can be emitted before its own base.
