The exchange is not for the purpose of duplicating apps. And would not be used unless you wanted to make your app publicly available to all Quick Base users everywhere.

Having said that, I far prefer to try to not have duplicate apps, if the same effect of compartmentalization of users can be achieved through Role Permissions.
For example, if there are users out of geographic offices, it would be better to have Role Permissions to keep the reporting and data separate by region rather than quadruplicating the maintenance effort to enhance functionality. A Quick Base app is often a journey, not a destination and there are always ideas for improvement..
That decision to duplicate and split an app will depend on how similar the use cases are.
