   |-|-|
   | Name | Unique name for your data preserver. An example is Next Experience Theme Properties. |
   | Theme | Option to determine whether this preserver is theme-related. In this case, select the option to mark it as true. |
   | Table | Table that is affected by this data preserver. In this case, use System property \[sys_properties\]. |
   | Conditions | Conditions that this data preserver acts on. Build the condition as Name is glide.ui.polaris.theme.custom. |
   [Table 1. Clone Data Preserver form]

   {#preserve-next-experience-theme-during-clone__table_cjp_zxg_45b}
4. Right-click the header and select Save.  
   The Clone Profiles related list appears.
5. Create a new record for each of the following tables, and leave the condition field empty.  
   * sys_ux_theme
   * sys_ux_style
   * m2m_theme_style
   * m2m_style_asset
   * sys_ux_theme_asset
   * sys_ux_theme_m2m_asset
   * sys_ux_theme_customization
   * m2m_app_theme
   {#preserve-next-experience-theme-during-clone__ul_cxf_wgp_xbc}
6. Create a new record for each of the table, including the associated condition.  
   {#preserve-next-experience-theme-during-clone__table_glr_bjp_xbc__entry__2}

   | Table | Conditions |
   |-|-|
   | sys_properties | Name is glide.ui.polaris.theme_builder.override_logo. |
   | sys_user_preference | Name is glide.ui.polaris.theme. |
   | sys_user_preference | Name is glide.ui.polaris.theme.variant. |
   | Add this table for themes with custom logos: sys_attachment | Name or unique identifier of the sys_attachment record on the target. |
   [Table 2. Clone Data Preserver for table and condition fields]

   {#preserve-next-experience-theme-during-clone__table_glr_bjp_xbc}
7. **Optional:** If you have a clone profile you would like to add, select Edit, move your clone profile to your data preserver, and select Save.  
   Note:  
   A clone profile enables you to store predefined target and clone options. If you don't have a clone profile, or don't need one, skip this step.
