This is how the GoHighLevel account is built today, and the two ways a VP's downline can grow from it. Read it top to bottom: the Agency holds billing and owns everything, sub-accounts (GoHighLevel calls them Locations) sit under it, and users live inside a sub-account. Hover any node to trace it, click to lock the detail open. Then use the Path A and Path B toggle to see the two growth stories.

Downline growth
Growth · When a VP graduates
A snapshot of the live build is the fork. It goes one of two ways.
Path A · stays in the family
New sub-account per VP, cloned by snapshot. Andre keeps billing and visibility.
Path B · goes independent
The VP buys their own agency. A snapshot rebuilds the account. History does not travel.

What a snapshot carries, and what it leaves behind
A snapshot is a clone of the build, not a copy of the account. Whichever path a VP takes, this is the line between what travels and what has to be rebuilt or re-registered.
