Copying and pasting an item
You can create a copy of an item within the same Publication.
Before you begin
You require the rights that allow you to modify that object as well as the following permissions:
- Read permission for the containing Folder, Structure Group, or Category
- Write permissions for the Folder, Structure Group, or Category to which you want to paste the item
About this task
If you create a copy of a Folder, Structure Group, or Keyword, you create a copy of all items that are contained within it as well. If an item is in Workflow or if a different user has it checked out, you can only create a copy of the last checked-in version of the item.
Procedure

- From the list view, select the item(s) you want to copy.
- Click the Copy icon on the Home tab of your ribbon.
