How to copy a version through the API?

ethan_keller924

I'd like to copy a version of my document into a new document for testing purposes. This functionality is available through the UI - just navigate to the desired version, go to the document menu and click "copy version." However, I don't see any way to do this through the API. The only endpoints that might make this work (that I see) are copy workspace and create workspace. I could create a workspace from a version, copy the workspace into a new document, then delete the workspace I created from the version in the original document. The issue with this is that the user needs write access to the document to make a copy of the version... Any other thoughts for how to accomplish the "copy version" functionality?

I think if you ask to create a isReadOnly workspace of a version you won't need WRITE permission

^ Also note that read-only workspaces do not appear in the document's history. The owner of the document will not be able to see any difference after your operation occurs.
