Copy

Use the Copy option to duplicate an object.

About this task

Duplicating an object creates a new object, independent of the original. The new object contains the data that was in the original object however future modifications to either object do not affect the other.

Procedure

  1. In Contenta Explorer select the object or objects you want to duplicate.
  2. Select Edit > Copy.
  3. Select the container into which you want to copy the object(s), then select Edit > Paste.
    You are prompted to name the new object.
  4. Enter a new and unique name for the object then click OK.

    The Paste function may take a while depending on how much data is in the object you copied. This is especially true if you are copying a container with many children.
