The successfully copied form will have the word "Copy" in its name to differentiate the original form (e.g. customer) from the copied form (e.g. customer copy). Users can modify the name and icon:

8. Hide the form (from the left navigation bar)

Some forms do not need to appear in the left navigation sidebar, but are only used when associating records. For example, when adding contacts to customer management, the contact form is generally not viewed by itself, but through customers, so it can be hidden from the navigation bar.

9. Hide and expand the left navigation bar of the form

To collapse the navigation sidebar of the form, add more space to display the data and display more columns.
Click the [⬅] button to hide it, and then click [➡] once to expand and restore:
