Copy and paste elements

WebAcappella uses a clipboard system for copy-paste management, allowing you to quickly duplicate elements while maintaining precise placement.

Copying an element

1. Select an element (box, row, column, or component).

• Use the shortcut Cmd + C (Mac) or Ctrl + C (Windows).

1. The "Clipboard" button (above the workspace) changes state and indicates that an element has been copied.

Paste an item

There are two options for pasting the copied element:

• Paste using the keyboard shortcut
• Press Cmd + V (Mac) or Ctrl + V (Windows).
• The item is automatically pasted into the first available position on the page.
• Paste using the Clipboard button

1. Click and hold the "Clipboard" button.
2. Drag the button to the work area.
3. Release the click to drop the copy of the item in the desired location.

Best practices

• Use keyboard shortcuts to speed up layout and project management.
• Check the clipboard before pasting an item.
• Use Cmd + V / Ctrl + V for quick pasting or the clipboard for precise placement.
• Drag the clipboard button to a free space to avoid overlapping items.
