Create a safe Algolia staging copy for each source version
A new governed file version can automatically create a separate index for review.

Trigger that fires when a new version of a specified OneDrive file is created.
Action
Copy Index
Tool to copy the specified index to a new index. use when you need to duplicate an existing index including records, settings, synonyms, and rules after confirming source and destination names.
Why this helps

- Separate review from production
- Preserve records and settings in the copy
- Create a repeatable release step
