Once you've cloned your Hosted XML process to an inherited process, you can change the project(s) from the Hosted XML process to the inherited process. You change a project from a Hosted XML process to its derived inherited process to start customizing the process through the user interface.
Caution
Choosing to clone a project from a Hosted XML process model to an inherited process is an irreversible operation. Before you change the process of an existing project from Hosted XML to the cloned inherited process, review Supported operations when moving from Hosted XML process to inherited process to understand which customizations are preserved and which are not before you change the process of a project from Hosted XML to an inherited process. Also, create a test project to verify the customizations preserved or reapplied to a process.
