+   support for:
+    - Drupal core nodes
+    - Drupal core actions
+    - "Any" Drupal Entity available to Entity API (see hook_menu)
+    - Views
+    - Views Bulk Operations
+    - Rules
+    - Field Collections

+
+ * Makes the replicate / duplicate functionality available via the UI. Still
+   requires Create permissions on an entity to display.
+
+ * The module has no menu or modifiable settings. There is no configuration.
+
+ * To replicate a node, once the module is installed and enabled, edit the node.
+   A new tab should appear titled 'replicate'. You will be asked if you are
+   sure you want to replicate the entity. Click the replicate button to
+   replicate the entity. You will then be sent to the replicated node, and
+   should see a success message that the entity (old entity id) has been
+   replicated to id (new entity id). You can then edit this new entity as needed.
