- Names, dtype, levels and codes can be passed and will be set on new copy.
1288
+ The `copy` method provides a mechanism to create a duplicate of an
1289
+ existing MultiIndex object. This is particularly useful in scenarios where
1290
+ modifications are required on an index, but the original MultiIndex should
1291
+ remain unchanged. By specifying the `deep` parameter, users can control
1292
+ whether the copy should be a deep or shallow copy, providing flexibility
1293
+ depending on the size and complexity of the MultiIndex.

deep : bool, default False
