This tool can be found in the TUFLOW >> Editing >> Increment Selected Layer menu item.
As the name implies, this tool takes the active layer (as selected in the layer control) and saves a copy of this with a new filename. The currently open file will be closed and the new version opened, this avoids accidentally modifying the superseded version!
If the Keep Source Formatting option is checked then the a .qml style file is saved based on the styling of the current layer.
A dropbox is provided so a different shapefile layer can be increment instead of the current layer. When the dropbox is changed, the source folder and output file name will be reset.

The tool checks if the existing file exists and if a file with that name already exists an error is displayed and the tool will close.
