    After sync between two CL we had to remove CL1 and change CL2 role from subscribe to local and this change is not possible.

    You can create another local Content Library and use PowerCLI cmdlet "Copy-ContentLibraryItem" in order to copy items.

    For example:

    $item = Get-ContentLibraryItem -Name 'CentOS-7-x86_64-Minimal-1908' -ContentLibrary 'FirtstContentLibrary'

    $library = Get-ContentLibrary -Name 'SecondContentLibray' -Local

    Copy-ContentLibraryItem -ContentLibraryItem $item -Destination $library
