    It is really a term for an architecture not a specific feature. The documentation would be just allowing to have let’s say array A B and C and then having one pod stretched from A to B and then another stretched from A to C

A few things. ExtendedCopy doesnt really come into play with ActiveWorkload (which is essentially the ability to stretch different pods to different arrays from the same source). EXCOPY means offloading the clone or migration of a VM from one array to another. This isnt not necessary here as ActiveCluster is already replicating the data between arrays so there is nothing to offload (the data is already there). That being said we do not support EXCOPY at this time, but if there is a use case you are thinking of I might be missing something
