Can I clone a view but keep it independent of it's content? I'm looking to duplicate(clone) of a view, so that I may reuse it on other pages and have it will not pull through the same content.

I'm using Views 7.x-3.8 on Drupal 7.34 this will be updated later when the site goes live.
Yes it is possible to duplicate a views as much as you need and edit them independently. It saves a lot of work and time.
