Is a copy of an app an EXACT copy of the app - relationships, embedded reporrts, everything?

We need help with a question about removing an owner of a database app by making a copy (which gives us ownership), then removing this person from the account so they cannot hold up progress any longer. 

We trusted a former colleague to help us create a database app. That was in February. However this person has taken 4 months to get it to a "nearly completed" state when they stated it would take only a month. This person is the "owner" the app, but we'd like to remove this person from our account and take over where they left off. Can we simply copy the origianl app (which gives us ownership), and then delete the original app, with removes her from the account? Our question really is, is a copy of an app and EXACT copy? 

Please help asap. 
  • The structure, relationships, content and users will be copied, but if there are any hard-coded formulas (pointing to dbids of the live application) or custom Pages pointing to those dbids those would need to be fixed in the copy application.  You might be able to get Quick Base Support to help you with this issue if it can avoid you copying the app and having to check for those things.  Use the Help question mark icon and Manage Support Tickets to submit one.
