    Default Copy Sideboxes

    Copy Sideboxes copies all your sidebox settings from one template to another
    (typically your old template to your new one).

    When you add a new template, the default sidebox settings are "all off." This
    makes it hard to compare two templates without taking the time to update all the
    values in Admin->Tools->Layout Boxes Controller.

    With Copy Sideboxes, it's easy to try a new template on your site quickly, and
    see how it looks with all your regular sideboxes on.

    I hate to bring the bad news, but there has been something similar since 2006
    see: Save your sideboxes layout as the default

    Not really bad news - it's not exactly like this, since mine doesn't modify the defaults (which you may or may not want to do). Also, with mine, you can easily make changes in the original and then pull them into the new template. With the save as default, you'd have to make those changes again or delete the new template records from the database.

    If you want to try out 1.5.5, and you want to keep the sideboxes you like in your template, but use the new responsive_classic template, copy sideboxes works great! :)
