You can either Copy and Paste an element or Clone an element on the Design Studio. Each of them has different behaviors.
Copying an element
When copying and pasting an element, the copied element will have a different id. Elements will look the same but they are independent from one another.
- Select the element or elements on the Workspace or Layer Panel
- Press Ctrl/Cmd + C to copy
- Press Ctrl/Cmd + V to paste, or Ctrl/Cmd + B to paste in place
Cloning an element
When cloning an element, the cloned element will have the same exact ID as the original element. When elements have the same ID they work coordinated.
For example, 2 text elements with the same ID will change at the same time when a customer types on them.
- Select the element or elements on the Workspace or Layer Panel
- Click the clone button
Tip
Use cloning whenever you want to create designs with patterns or multiple elements that change together. For example, texts or images that repeat multiple times across a product.
